Edward Harris est un fermier et un ornithologue américain, né en 1799 et mort en 1863.
Fils de fermier, il grandit près de Philadelphie. Il rencontre John James Audubon (1785-1851) en 1824 dont il deviendra le plus proche ami.
L’aisance financière d’Harris lui permet de soutenir activement Audubon en lui achetant ses planches de façon généreuse. Il contribue notamment à l’édition de ses Birds of America à une époque où Audubon connaît une grande pauvreté.
Harris participe à deux expéditions d’Audubon : en 1837, le long du Golfe du Mexique et, en 1843, sur le cours de la rivière Missouri.
La buse de Harris, Parabuteo unicinctus lui a été dédiée par J. J. Audubon en 1837.
