Edina "Eddie" Margaret Rose Monsoon is one of the two main characters in the British television sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, created and portrayed by comedian Jennifer Saunders.

The founder and head of her own PR company, Edina consistently undermines her own professional success through chronic, self destructive behaviour—including drug addiction, alcoholism, and compulsive eating—all driven by her desire to recapture her youth as a mod in Swinging London.

Constantly attempting to appear young and "hip", Edina has adopted an extravagant personality and constantly pursues the latest fashion trends and crazes. Barely managing to keep her company afloat, Edina's life is kept in order by her long-suffering daughter, Saffron, who has been caring for her mother ever since she was a child.
