Edith Irene Södergran (* 4. April 1892 in Sankt Petersburg; † 24. Juni 1923 in Raivola/Karelien) war eine finnlandschwedische Lyrikerin und Schriftstellerin. Sie war vor allem vom französischen Symbolismus, dem deutschen Expressionismus und dem russischen Futurismus beeinflusst und gilt als Begründerin des finnlandschwedischen Modernismus. Bedingt durch ihren frühen Tod war sie zu Lebzeiten kaum bekannt. Ihr Einfluss war jedoch bedeutend, u. a. auf die finlandschwedischen modernistischen Dichter Elmer Diktonius (1896–1961), Gunnar Björling (1887–1960) und Rabbe Enckell (1903–1974).
