Elizabeth Compton, Countess of Northampton

Elizabeth Compton, Countess of Northampton (19 August 1694 – 13 March 1741), suo jure 15th Baroness Ferrers of Chartley, was a British peer.

After the deaths of her father (in 1698) and her brother (in 1714), Elizabeth became her grandfather's heiress apparent.

She married James Compton, Lord Compton in 1716; on her grandfather's death in 1717, she succeeded him as Baroness Ferrers of Chartley and became Countess of Northampton when her husband inherited the earldom in 1727.

She died in March 1741, aged 46, when her barony fell into abeyance between her daughters.

Lord Northampton died in 1754 and was succeeded in his junior title of Baron Compton by his daughter Charlotte.
