Marie Elisabeth, Duchess of Mecklenburg (24 March 1646 - 27 April 1713) was a princess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. In 1712, following the unplanned late pregnancy and ensuing resignation of the formidable incumbent, Henriette Christine of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, Marie Elisabeth became Princess Abbess of Gandersheim Abbey, but she died the next year.[1][2][3]
