Elizabeth Knepp or Knipp (died 1681) was a British actress, singer, and dancer.
[1] From 1666 onwards she is recorded as playing many parts, both tragic and comic, including Lady Fidget in William Wycherley's The Country Wife.
[5] She also occasionally spoke prologues and epilogues, and often danced and sang in or between acts.
[6][7] Samuel Pepys was fascinated by Knepp, and his diary for 1666—68 is full of references to her, including mentions of amorous encounters, and descriptions of how much he enjoyed her flirtatiousness and especially her singing.
[8][9][10] In the late 1670s she became mistress to the actor Joseph Haines, and died in 1681 giving birth to his stillborn child.
