Edythe "Edie" Colton Harrison (born September 17, 1934) is an American politician who served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1980 to 1983. She lost renomination to Tom Moss in 1982 after the state's House district maps were redrawn.[1] In 1984, she ran for United States Senate, losing to the Republican incumbent, John Warner.[2] She was the first woman nominated for statewide office by the Virginia Democratic Party.

In 1974, Harrison worked to found the Virginia Opera Association and led a fundraising campaign to restore the Norfolk Municipal Auditorium for the company's new home, the Harrison Opera House.[3]
