Elizabeth de Mowbray, Duchess of Norfolk (née Talbot; c. December 1442/January 1443 – between 6 November 1506 and 28 June 1507) was a daughter of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and his wife Lady Margaret Beauchamp. Her exact date of death is uncertain, and based only on the references to "her will dated the 6th of November, 1506, which was proved the 28th of June, 1507" [1]

Lady Elizabeth Talbot was a daughter of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and his wife Lady Margaret Beauchamp.[2] Her older sister was Lady Eleanor Talbot, believed to have been King Edward IV's wife or mistress.[3] Elizabeth's maternal grandparents were Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick and Elizabeth de Berkeley. One of her brothers was John Talbot, 1st Viscount Lisle, a nobleman and soldier.

She was married to John de Mowbray. He succeeded his father as Duke of Norfolk in 1461, making her the Duchess of Norfolk by marriage. They had only one surviving daughter, who inherited the Warwick estates.
