Edgar Truman Brackett (July 30, 1853 – February 27, 1924), was a lawyer, businessman, and a member of the New York State Senate.

In 1882, he married Mary Emma Corliss and they had several children, among them the screenwriter Charles Brackett.

His accomplishments included participation in the impeachment of New York Governor William Sulzer in 1913[3] and the founding of McGregor Links golf course near Saratoga Springs, "considered by experts to be one of the best in the country[3]" in 1921.

In 1901, Edgar Brackett founded the Adirondack Trust Company and remained as president until his death in 1924.

In 2013 a large cache of Senator Brackett's personal records and correspondence was discovered concealed by a dropped ceiling in Saratoga Springs City Hall, where he had a law office.
