Elizabeth Legge (1580 – 1685) was a learned British woman and alleged centenarian during the Elizabethan era.

[1] She was born in 1580, the eldest daughter of Edward Legge and Mary Walsh.

[1] Elizabeth Legge appears in George Ballard's biographical work Memoirs of Several Ladies of Great Britain (1752).

According to Ballard's account, Legge knew at least five languages and wrote poetry.

Her practice of reading and writing by candlelight apparently led to the eventual loss of her eyesight.
