Edmund Pendleton (September 9, 1721 - October 23, 1803) was a Virginia politician, lawyer and judge, active in the American Revolutionary War. He was a member of the Virginia legislature before and during the War.

Unlike Henry, Pendleton was a moderate who initially hoped for reconciliation, rather than revolt.
