    Edith van Wessex, Oudengels: Eadgyth, (ca. 910 - 21 januari 946) was een dochter van Eduard de Oudere en van Ælfflæd. Haar halfbroer koning Athelstan van Engeland zond haar en haar zuster Aelgifu naar Duitsland zodat Otto I een van hen als bruid kon kiezen - en voor de ander een passende echtgenoot zou vinden. Otto koos Edith en huwde haar in 929. Hij schonk haar Maagdenburg als morgengave (bruidsschat). Edith en Otto stichtten het Mauritiusklooster in Maagdenburg dat later de dom van die stad zou worden. Edith begunstigde ook andere kerken en kloosters. Otto zou veel van haar hebben gehouden en zeer hebben getreurd na haar overlijden. Edith werd begraven in de dom van Magdeburg.
