Dame Edith Maud Pitt, DBE (14 October 1906 – 27 January 1966) was a British Conservative Party MP for the Birmingham Edgbaston seat.

[2] She was selected as the Conservative candidate for Birmingham Stechford for the 1950 general election, but lost to the future Home Secretary, Roy Jenkins.

[3] Pitt failed to get elected for the safe Labour seat of Birmingham Small Heath in a 1952 by-election.

The selection of a female candidate for a safe seat was considered by the press to be a change in policy for the Conservative party.

She spoke in support of John Morrison's opening address of thanks to Queen Elizabeth II on behalf of the new Parliament, and was cheered on by her fellow Members.

Following this, former Prime Minister Clement Attlee said of Pitt, "I think the House was impressed by the sincerity and knowledge with which she spoke on subjects very dear to her heart.

She died before Parliament returned and Robert Carr began the tributes to her on behalf of the bill team on 3 February 1966.
