Edyth Walker (March 27, 1867 – February 19, 1950) was an American opera singer who had an active international career from the 1890s through the 1910s.
She began her career performing roles from the mezzo-soprano repertory, but later successfully added several soprano parts to her repertoire as well.
While she did perform in Italian and French language operas, she had a clear affinity for works in the German language.
She particularly excelled in the operas of Richard Wagner.
After retiring from the stage, she was active as a voice teacher in both France and the United States.
Her voice is preserved on several gramophone recordings, made mainly for His Master's Voice, between 1902-08.
