Edna Sarah Cole (January 1, 1855 – November 23, 1950) was an American Presbyterian missionary who worked in Siam (Thailand) from the late 19th through early 20th centuries. She was principal of the Wang Lang Girls' School in Bangkok, the precursor to Wattana Wittaya Girls Academy.

Margaret Landon consulted Cole's letters home to her sister in the United States in her research for writing Anna and the King of Siam.
