Lady Elizabeth FitzGerald, Countess of Kildare (c.1497 – after 1548), was an Anglo-Irish noblewoman, the second wife of Gerald FitzGerald, 9th Earl of Kildare. Her father was Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset. Her mother, Cecily, was the wealthiest heiress in England after succeeding to the title of suo jure 7th Baroness Harington of Aldingham and then the title of suo jure 2nd Baroness Bonville.

She went to France in 1514 as one of the Maids of Honour of Mary Tudor, Queen of France, and remained to serve the latter's successor, Queen Claude, in the same capacity.
