Edgar A. Cohen (September 23, 1859 – April 7, 1939) was an American photographer known for his early landscape photography, which captured landmarks such as Yosemite Falls, Mount Tamalpais, and the California Missions. He documented the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Cohen's work is distinguished by his technique of hand-colouring of photographs.
