Edward Coote Pinkney (1802-1828) was an American poet, lawyer, arts professor, editor and Navy sailor.

He was born in London, where his father was U.S. ambassador. He wrote a number of light, graceful short poems, but fell a victim to ill-health and a morbid melancholy at the age of twenty-five. His longest poem is "Rudolph" (1825).
