Edith Storey (March 18, 1892 – October 9, 1967) was an American actress during the silent film era.

Storey was born on March 18, 1892 in New York City to William Chase Storey and Minnie Storey (née. Thorn). Her younger brother, Richard (1895–1959), also had a brief acting career.

Storey began acting when she was a child. Her film career began with the film Francesca di Rimini (1908), also called The Two Brothers. She would have two film roles in 1908, and a total of seventy-five by 1913. Many of these films were Westerns, as Storey was reportedly an excellent horseback rider and could perform her own stunts.

Edith Storey worked for New York-based Vitagraph Studios for most of her career except from 1910–1911, when she was under contract with Star Film Company in San Antonio, Texas. She appeared in nearly 150 films between 1908 to 1921, including The Immortal Alamo (1911), A Florida Enchantment (1914), and The Christian (1914), the latter film based on the Hall Caine novel, and later remade in 1923, also as The Christian. In 1918, Storey signed with Metro; The Eyes of Mystery (1918) was her debut film for that studio.

She would appear in another seventy-one films from 1913 to 1921, almost all of which were what are considered film shorts. In 1921, aged 29, she retired.She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the film industry at 1523 Vine Street.
