Elizabeth Gwyn Caskey (20 May 1910 – January 1994) was a Canadian-American classical scholar, professor, and archaeologist, known for her work in the excavations at Lerna and Kea, which are of importance to Greek prehistory.

As an archaeologist she worked with her husband, Jack Caskey, on excavations where she supervised the trenches of every annual dig and their fortifications.

In 1948 she moved to Greece with her husband, where he worked as Assistant Director at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.

She pursued a career as a librarian from 1948 to 1958, and occasionally taught numismatics and ancient pottery to graduate students, drawing on the data of archaeological excavations in Athenian Agora.

She had the task of supervising digs as "quarter master" in areas that provided information related to Early Bronze Age.

In 1969 they came back to Cinncinnari for a short period and then started another excavation at Agia Irini on the island of Kea off the coast of Attica during 1960, where the students of the college were also trained.

[6] In the excavation conducted during 1963–64 Caskey not only encouraged new archaeologists but also got involved with deep digging in Late Bronze Age sites, which exposed the largest building with peeled-out painted plaster in some rooms, pots, graffiti, drains, roads and other features.

"[7] In 1965, the recording of finds of a temple next to House A site and of pottery, mostly of the Late Bronze Age, animal bones, fragments of frescos, human skeletal and the terracotta statues were also done by a team under Caskey's supervision; her niece Lynne Radcliffe of Vancouver had joined this team.

The subjects she taught here covered her special fields such as classical literature and philosophy, Greek, ancient history, art and archaeology.
