Edmund Clarke Briggs (20 February 1835 – 4 July 1913) was an American leader in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church).

In July 1852 he was converted into the Latter Day Saint movement after being taught by his brother Jason, who had earlier been baptized by Mormon missionaries.

Briggs and Alexander McCord travelled 1000 miles by wagon and arrived in Salt Lake City on 7 August 1863.

On 11 August, LDS Church president Brigham Young encouraged Briggs and McCord to leave Utah, suggesting that they may not be safe.

Briggs was a member of the RLDS Church's Council of Twelve Apostles until 18 April 1902, when he was ordained a patriarch.
