Edith Nesbit (Kennington, 15 de agosto de 1858 – , 4 de maio de 1924) foi uma escritora e poeta inglesa, que publicou suas histórias infantis sob o pseudônimo andrógino de E. Nesbit. Escreveu ou colaborou com mais de sessenta livros de ficção para crianças, muitos deles adaptados para o cinema e para a televisão. Começou um novo gênero de aventuras mágicas, assentados sobre lugares cotidianos, e foi muito imitada. Edith Nesbit publicou livros conhecidos como Cinco Crianças e um Segredo entre outros. Aventurou-se em outros estilos, como os contos sobrenaturais, tendo escrito romances, poemas e contos de horror. Era também ativista política e foi co-fundadora da Fabian Society, uma organização socialista depois filiada ao Partido Trabalhista.
