Edward Tuckerman (December 7, 1817 - March 15, 1886) was a botanist and professor from Boston, Massachusetts who made important contributions to the survey of lichens and more alpine plants. A majority of his collecting was done on the slopes of Mount Washington in the White Mountains. Tuckerman Ravine was named inside his honor.

A standard botanical author abbreviation Tuck. is applied to species he described.
