Edna Ferber (15. august 1885 – 16. april 1968) bila je američka spisateljica, specijalizirana za pisanje romana, novela i drama. Njeni najpoznatiji romani su So Big (1924), koji je dobio Pulitzerovu nagradu; Show Boat (1926) koji je postao predloškom slavnog mjuzikla i Giant (1952), koji je postao predloškom holivudskog filma.
Edna Ferber se rodila u Kalamazoou u državi Michigan kao kćer Jacoba Ferbera, jevrejgskog imigranta iz Mađarske i njegove supruge Julie Neumann. Porodica je živjela u Chicagu i u Ottumwi prije nego što se konačno naselila u gradu Appleton gdje je Ferber završila srednju školu te kraće vrijeme studirala na tamošnjem Univerzitetu Lawrence. Potom je preuzela posao novinarke radeći za Appleton Daily Crescent i Milwaukee Journal. Novinarstvom se uglavnom prestala baviti nakon početka spisateljske karijere, iako je 1920. godine kao jedna od prvih žena-reportera pratila republikansku i demokratsku izbornu konvenciju.
Do sredine 1920-ih, kada je osvojila Pulitzerovu nagradu, Ferber je bila jedna od najetabliranijih američkih književnica. Pripadala je poznatom njujorškom književnom kružoku Okrugli stol Algonquina. Još od 1920-ih je Hollywood počeo često ekranizirati njene romane.
Pojavljuje se kao lik u filmu Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle iz 1994. gdje je tumači Lili Taylor.
