Edwin D. Coe (June 11, 1840 – May 5, 1909) was an American politician and newspaper editor.
Born in Ixonia, Wisconsin Territory, Coe went to Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and then to University of Wisconsin–Madison. He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. In 1866, Coe was admitted to the Wisconsin Bar and was the editor of the Whitewater Register. He served in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1878 and 1879 as a Republican. He then served as chief clerk in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1882, 1885, 1887, and 1889. He was head of the United States Pension Agency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for ten years. He was also chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party Central Committee. He died at his home in Whitewater, Wisconsin.
The name Edwin means "rich friend". It comes from the Old English elements "ead" (rich, blessed) and "wine" (friend). The original Anglo-Saxon form is Eadwine, which is also found for Anglo-Saxon figures.

Edwin is a Canadian alternative rock singer and solo artist from Toronto, and former lead vocalist for I Mother Earth. He was on the band's first two albums, and was also on the majority of the songs on Victor, a 1996 side project from Alex Lifeson of Rush. He went solo in late 1997 and released three albums from 1999 to 2006. He is currently the lead singer for the newly formed Canadian super group Crash Karma, as well as a bartender at Tattoo Rock Parlour in Toronto.
After leaving IME in late 1997, Edwin disappeared from the public eye. Under his low profile, Edwin met with members of the recently dissolved Glueleg, most notably Ruben Huizenga. He also met with Sony Music, who signed him in 1998. That summer, Edwin finally reappeared in public, appearing as a surprise guest with The Tea Party at EdgeFest '98 on July 1 in Barrie, Ontario. Edwin contributed lead vocals in their Canada Day rendition of David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans". Back in Toronto, Huizenga and company brought their instrumental talents to Edwin's debut solo album, as did several other session musicians (including IME percussionist Daniel Mansilla). Producer and ex-BTK member Matt DeMatteo did the bulk of the production (at times assisted by Huizenga) and also played instruments. Huizenga, DeMatteo, David Martin, and half a dozen other songwriters collaborated with Edwin, who claimed to have written 75% of the album. The end result was Another Spin Around the Sun, released in Spring 1999.
