Edward Terry Sanford (July 23, 1865 – March 8, 1930) was an American jurist who served on the United States Supreme Court.

Sanford, an attorney from Tennessee, first served in the government as the Assistant Attorney General in 1907 under President Theodore Roosevelt, who then appointed him to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee the following year. Upon the advice of Sanford's friend, Chief Justice William Howard Taft, President Warren Harding elevated him to the Supreme Court in 1923. He served on the Court until his death, which coincidentally occurred on the same day as that of the recently-retired Taft.

Sanford wrote 130 opinions during his seven years on the Court, including the majority opinion in "Gitlow v. New York", which suggested in dicta that the free speech protections of the First Amendment applied to the states, and "Okanogan Indians v. United States", which upheld the power of the President's "pocket veto".

He was also an active member of Civitan International. [cite book |last= Leonhart |first= James Chancellor |title= The Fabulous Octogenarian |year= 1962 |publisher= Redwood House, Inc. |location= Baltimore Maryland |pages= 277 ]
