Elizabeth Scot Yorke, Countess of Hardwicke (née Lindsay; 1 October 1763 – 26 May 1858) was a British playwright and member of the aristocracy.

Born to James Lindsay, 5th Earl of Balcarres and Anne Dalrymple, Hardwicke married Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke, on 24 July 1782.

Hardwicke regularly wrote and produced plays and performances in Wimpole Hall, but she was very conservative in her views and saw this less as a profession of writing than an example of her duty as a mother and charitable lady.

With the permission of Queen Victoria, she published The Court of Oberon, which she had written in the 1790s.

[5] She is buried in Chicheley Chapel in Wimpole, commemorated on the monument she had erected to the memory of her husband and sons.
