Edwin Francis Jemison (December 1, 1844 – July 1, 1862) was an American Confederate soldier who served in the 2nd Louisiana Infantry Regiment from May 1861 until he was killed in action at the Battle of Malvern Hill.

Jemison enlisted on May 11, 1861, in Company B (Moore's Guards) of the 2nd Louisiana Infantry Regiment, and was among the war's early volunteers.

The death by cannon fire story was corroborated by the 1887 obituary of his younger brother, Sam, but incorrectly identifies the battle as First Manassas.

Bounding forward at the order ‘Charge!’ he was stricken down in the front rank, and without a struggle yielded up his young life.

It is thought that Jemison's parents erected the monument to him at Memory Hill Cemetery in Milledgeville, Georgia, where he may be buried.
