Edward Franklin Albee (d. 12 Mart 1928 - ö. 16 Eylül 2016, New York), Amerikalı yazar. Kim Korkar Hain Kurttan? (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) adlı oyunuyla tanınan yazar modernitenin ve savaş sonrası Amerikan kültürünü eleştiren oyunlarıyla dönemin farklı seslerinden biri olmayı başarmıştır.

1946 - 1947 arasında Hartford'taki Trinity College'ta öğrenim gördü. Bir süre roman ve şiir yazan Albee, daha sonra oyun yazarı olmaya karar verdi. Başta tek perdelik oyunlar yazdı. En önemli eseri üç perdelik ilk oyunu Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf'u 1962'de tamamladı. 1966'da sinemaya da uyarlanan bu oyun, Türkiye'de çeşitli kereler sahnelendi ve 1993'te Kabalcı Yayınevi tarafından Kim Korkar Virginia Woolf'tan adıyla yayınlandı. Albee oyun yazarlığının yanı sıra ABD'de çeşitli okullarda dersler de verdi. Seascape (1975, Deniz Manzarası), A Delicate Balance (Kıl payı, 1966) ve Three Tall Women (1991, Üç Boylu Kadın) adlı oyunlarıyla üç kez Pulitzer Ödülü kazandı. Albee'nin ilk dönem oyunları absürt tiyatronun önemli örnekleri arasında yer almıştır. 16 Eylül 2016'da ölmüştür.
