Elizabeth Shackleton born Elizabeth Parker (1726–1781) was an English diarist. She was the only daughter of her father who inherited an estate in Yorkshire. She made a disappointing first marriage and a disastrous second. She is remembered for her diaries and letters which her family preserved. The diaries were the basis of an award-winning book about "Women's Lives in Georgian England" in 1998.
