Edward Sapir

Edward Sapir (født 26. januar 1884, død 4. februar 1939) var en amerikansk lingvist og antropolog af den amerikanske deskriptive skole.
Han beskrev amerikanske indianersprog og -kulturer, og hans forskning førte til et gennembrud i forståelsen af sprogenes mangfoldighed. Sapir-Whorf-hypotesen, en tese om relativitet som følge af forskelle i modermålene opstod ud af hans arbejde sammen med Benjamin Lee Whorf.
