Elizabeth Greville, Countess of Warwick (22 August 1720 – 24 February 1800), formerly Elizabeth Hamilton, was the wife of Francis Greville, 1st Earl of Warwick, who was restored to the earldom of Warwick by King George III of the United Kingdom in 1760.

She was the daughter of Lord Archibald Hamilton and his second wife, Lady Jane Hamilton, a royal mistress.

Elizabeth married the earl, then untitled, on 15 May 1742 at Park Place, Remenham, Berkshire. In 1727, he inherited the title Baron Brooke, as well as Warwick Castle. In 1746, he became Earl Brooke, at which point his wife became a countess.
