Edythe Perlick (December 12, 1922 – February 27, 2003), known by her nickname Edie, was a left fielder who played from 1943 through 1950 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). Listed at 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m), 128 lb., she batted and threw right-handed.

A three-time All-Star, Perlick is often described as a multifaceted five-tool player. She was able to hit for average and power, was a smart and speedy baserunner, and combined fielding abilities with a strong and accurate throwing arm.
