Enid Mary Cotton (née Jesson) (1 May 1889 Malvern, Victoria – 19 April 1956 Farnham Common) was an Australian-born English botanist who married Arthur Disbrowe Cotton in 1913/1915, raising a son and daughter.[1]

She was the daughter of a mining engineer John Charles Jesson and Lilian née Dawson. On the family's return to England she worked at Kew[2] and contributed text to Curtis's Botanical Magazine as well as Elinor Frances Vallentin's Illustrations of Flowering Plants of the Falkland Islands (1921).[3]
