Elizabeth Rainforth (1814–1877), was a British soprano opera and concert singer, and music arranger of the 19th century.

She was the daughter of Sampson Rainforth, a custom-house officer,[2] and she became a pupil of Tom Cooke, Domenico Crivelli, and George Perry, and subsequently, for dramatic action, of Mrs.

On 27 October in the same year Miss Rainforth made her stage début as Mandane in Thomas Arne's Artaxerxes at the St James's Theatre, and for many seasons she was a popular dramatic singer at this theatre, the English Opera House, Covent Garden, and Drury Lane.

In 1837 she appeared in oratorio under the auspices of the Sacred Harmonic Society[3] and in 1838 she was pictured in Bickerstaffe and Arne's Love in a Village in 1838.

[3] According to the Dictionary of National Biography, Rainforth was an admirable singer, but lacked sufficient power to place her in the foremost rank of great sopranos.
