Edward Hicks Hume (1876–1957) was a missionary doctor and educator best known for his work in China for the Yale-in-China Mission and his writings on Chinese medicine. After some twenty years of medical work, which included organizing the Hsiang-Ya Medical College, which still functions in Changsha today, Hume resigned in a dispute with the home office when he favored turning control of the school over to Chinese during the anti-imperialist campaigns of 1925–1927.
