Charlotte Marie Edwards (born 17 December 1979 at Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire) is an English cricketer and current captain of the England women's team.

At the time when she made her debut in 1995, she became the youngest player ever to play for England (later bettered by team-mate Holly Colvin). As of 2006, she captains the Kent cricket club. She currently has the highest career run total in Women's Twenty20 cricket, at 200. She played her 100th one day international on tour in Australia and led her team to victory in the one off test match at Bowral to retain the ashes, scoring 94 in England's first innings and hitting the winning runs in the second.
