Ebenezer Cooke (c. 1665 – c. 1732) was a poet from the Thirteen Colonies. Probably born in London, he became a lawyer in Maryland, then an English colony, where he wrote a number of poems including one that some scholars consider the first American satire: "The Sot-Weed Factor: Or, a Voyage to Maryland. A Satyr" (1708). He was fictionalized by John Barth as the comically innocent protagonist of The Sot-Weed Factor, a novel in which a series of fantastic misadventures leads Cooke to write his poem.
