Edora, designated P5C-768 by the Tau'ri, was a planet in the Milky Way galaxy with a Stargate, which was home to the Edorans.

Edora is the fourth planet in its star system and has a slightly unstable elliptical orbit and every year, the planet passes very close to the system's asteroid belt. This causes the "fire rain", where meteors from the belt skip across the planet's atmosphere. However, around every 150 years the planet enters a denser part of the asteroid belt, causing the meteors to skip too close to the planet's atmosphere, and even impact the surface. The "Fire rain" in 2000 was the most turbulent in the cycle. One of the meteors buried the Stargate, but SG-1 finally managed to unearth it by using a plasma weapon to create enough of a gap between the gate and the rocks above it for the event horizon to create a larger cavern, allowing Teal'c and Jack to breach the cavern and dig up the Stargate. The next "fire rain" similar to the one in 2000 is due to happen again sometime in the 2150s. Edora is a pleasant world of woods and grassy meadows and valuable naquadah resources produced by the meteors rich in the metal impacting the planet's mantle. (SG1: "A Hundred Days")
Whilst undercover to expose a Rogue NID operation, Colonel Jack O'Neill went back to Edora, in order to reach the N.I.D. base via its Stargate. The Edoran Stargate's DHD had been jury-rigged into operation with Tau'ri technology, presumably due to the damage sustained by the meteor impact previously. (SG1: "Shades of Grey")
