Edith Storey (March 18, 1892 – October 9, 1967) was an American actress during the silent film era, and whose brother, Richard Storey, also had a brief and much less successful film acting career, with him appearing in only four films. She worked for New York-based Vitagraph Studios and appeared in nearly 150 films between 1908 to 1921, including the 1914 films A Florida Enchantment and The Christian.

Born and raised in New York City, Storey began her film acting career with the 1908 film Francesca di Rimini, also called The Two Brothers. She would have two film roles in 1908, and a total of seventy five by 1913. She would appear in another seventy one films from 1913 to 1921, almost all of which were what are considered film shorts. In 1921, at the age of only 29, she retired.

She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the film industry at 1523 Vine Street. She was residing in Northport, Long Island, New York at the time of her death on October 9th, 1967.
