Edward McGehee (November 8, 1786 – October 1, 1880) was an American judge and major planter in Wilkinson County, Mississippi. He owned nearly 1,000 slaves to work his thousands of acres of cotton land at his Bowling Green Plantation. In the 1830s, McGehee was among a group of major planters who founded the Mississippi Colonization Society, to transport free people of color from the state to West Africa. They intended to remove what they considered the destabilizing threat of free blacks to the slave society. They bought land known as Mississippi-in-Africa, which later became part of Liberia.
