Elizabeth Stanley, Countess of Derby (née Lady Elizabeth Butler; 1660–1717) was an English court official. She served as Mistress of the Robes to queen Mary II of England between 1689 and 1694.

She was the daughter of Thomas Butler, 6th Earl of Ossory and Emilia van Nassau-Beverweerd. She married William Stanley, 9th Earl of Derby, in 1673.
