Edith Mathis (Swiss Standard German: 11 February 1938 – 9 February 2025) was a Swiss soprano known for her roles in Mozart's operas. Early in her career, Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro was her signature role that she performed at debuts at several opera houses and festivals in Europe. Later, she portrayed Susanna in the same opera, Zerlina in Don Giovanni and Pamina in Die Zauberflöte. She took part in premieres of operas, Henze's Der junge Lord and works by Gottfried von Einem, Menotti and Heinrich Sutermeister. Based at Deutsche Oper Berlin from 1963 to 1971, she was in demand internationally, also as a singer of Lied and in concert.

Mathis recorded operas, symphonies by Gustav Mahler and oratorios with the leading conductors of her time. She recorded many of Bach's church cantatas in Karl Richter's cycle, and Lieder by Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Richard Strauss and Hugo Wolf. From 1992, she taught Lied interpretation at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and in master classes.
