Elizabeth de Badlesmere, Countess of Northampton (1313 – 8 June 1356) was the wife of two English noblemen, Sir Edmund Mortimer and William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton. She was a co-heiress of her brother Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere.
Her first father-in-law was Roger Mortimer of Wigmore, 1st Earl of March, lover of Isabella of France, the Queen Consort of Edward II. Roger and Isabella overthrew Edward II in the name of her son Edward III, who in turn seized power and hanged Roger in 1330; the Mortimer estates were forfeited to the crown. Elizabeth's husband died a year later, but their eldest son Roger Mortimer inherited his grandfather's title and became 2nd Earl of March
She then married William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton (1312–1360), with whom she had two children.
