Cory Edwards (born August 21, 1968) is an American film director, screenwriter, and stand-up comedian. He is best known for directing, co-writing, and voice acting in Hoodwinked (2005), and for co-writing and voice acting in the 2011 sequel Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil. He is the older brother of screenwriter/director Todd Edwards and film producer Katie Hooten.

James L. Edwards, Cory Edwards' father, grew up as the son of a minister in Kettering, Ohio, and graduated from Anderson University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1965. Throughout college, James worked at a J.C. Penney, held various jobs on campus, and served as a minister of music in a small church. Upon graduation, he took on a job as the university's Director of Student Recruitment, which he held until earning a Master of Divinity from Anderson School of Theology in 1970.

Deanna Monteith, Cory Edwards' mother, grew up in Springfield, Ohio, where she worked in a law office while attending classes part-time at Wittenberg University. She enrolled in Anderson University during the same semester as James, and they married in 1964 after their junior year. Deanna continued her studies by following a degree in Elementary Education with a master's degree from Ball State University. She and James then moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where James served as a pastor at Pasadena Park Church of God. Cory's younger brother Todd was born there in 1971.
