Lady Elizabeth Dunbar (died before March 1494) was the prioress of Hospital of St Leonard's or St Leonard's Nunnery in Perth, Scotland. She had earlier been engaged to a future King of Scotland and was the subject of a play based on his rejection of her.
Lady Elizabeth was the daughter of George I, Earl of March. She married Archibald Douglas, third son of James, seventh Earl of Douglas before 26 April 1442. She subsequently married a total of three times.
