Edmund Cottle Weeks was an American politician who served as the third Lieutenant Governor of Florida.
A Massachusetts native, Weeks was born in the town of Tisbury, on Marthas Vineyard, to Captain Hiram Weeks and Margaret D. Cottle, a relative of New York Senator Thomas C. Platt. After accompanying his father on a voyage to South America, Weeks studied medicine for three years at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. However, his love for the sea compelled him to become a sailor and later a partner in a boat operating firm. During the American Civil War, he volunteered for the Union Navy in the Battle of New Orleans. He then headed the Union Armys 2nd Florida Cavalry with the rank of major. After the war, he settled in Tallahassee, Florida.
