Elizabeth, Lady Wilbraham (née Mytton; 14 February 1632 – 27 July 1705) was a member of the English aristocracy, who traditionally has been identified as an important architectural patron.

It has been suggested that she was the first woman architect, and whose work may have been attributed to men. However, this is disputed by architectural historians.[1]
