Euophrys elizabethae is a species of jumping spider that was first described by the arachnologists Wanda Wesołowska Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith in 2014.

[2] It was one of over 500 species identified by Wesołowska during her career, more than any other contemporary writer and second only to the French archnologist Eugène Simon.

[5] In Wayne Maddison's 2015 study of spider phylogenetic classification, the genus Euophrys was listed to the tribe Euophryini.

[12] Euophrys elizabethae is a small spider with a body divided into two main parts: a broader oval cephalothorax and longer abdomen.

The chelicerae has two teeth to the front and one to the back, while the remainder of the mouthparts, including the labium, are light brown.

The abdomen is dark grey on top with a mosaic pattern of smaller light patches and a yellowish underside.

It has two copulatory openings that lead to very short and relatively wide insemination ducts which loop around before feeding into the spermathecae, or receptacles.

The male has a long palpal bulb with a pronounced bulge to the bottom and a very small curled embolus attached to the top.
