Edith Bonnesen (1911–1992) was a Danish civil servant who, under the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, became a member of the Danish resistance. She contributed to the illegal newspaper De frie Danske, worked for the Danish-Swedish Refugee Service and joined the British Special Operations Executive. Arrested but released on several occasions, she made a dramatic escape from Copenhagen's Gestapo headquarters in August 1944.
