Elizabeth Lois Shields (née Teare; born 27 February 1928) is a British former politician.

Following the death of Ryedale's Conservative MP John Spence in 1986, Shields achieved victory in the Ryedale by-election of 1986, becoming the constituency's first Liberal MP, as part of the Alliance electoral pact between the Liberals and the Social Democrats.

However, it was a short-lived success, as the Conservative John Greenway regained Ryedale at the 1987 general election.

[6] After previously serving as the Group Leader of the Liberal Democrats on the District Council, Shields lost her seat to the Conservatives in the 2019 local elections.
