Edith Marie Brenneche Petersen (1896–1973) was a Danish Lutheran priest, one of the first three women to be ordained into the Church of Denmark. As a result of legislation introduced by the Church Minister Carl Hermansen in 1947, the following year, together with Johanne Andersen and Ruth Vermehren, she was ordained by Bishop Hans Øllgaard in Odense Cathedral. Denmark thus became the first country in the world to have women priests. In 1948, she was appointed assistant priest in Nørre Åby-Indslev parish on the island of Funen where she quickly gained popularity. In 1951 she moved to Fredens Kirke in Odense.
