Edith Gillian Harrison (1898–1974), née Cooke, was a British architect. After Roedean School, she trained at the Architectural Association School of Architecture from 1917-1922, where she was one of the first four female students.

In 1931 Harrison became the first woman Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. She designed a house in Kent, England, called 'Red Willows' in 1933. The exact location of Red Willows is unknown. In 1923, she married Henry St John Harrison, also an architect. Together they formed a joint practice called Cooke & Harrison. They had one child, a son.
