Elizabeth Hilda Lockhart Lorimer (30 May 1873 – 1 March 1954) was a British classical scholar who spent her career at Oxford University.

Her best known work was in the field of Homeric archaeology and ancient Greece, but she also visited and published on Turkey, Albania and the area that later became Yugoslavia.

She was noted for her Saturday ornithology expeditions, which continued throughout her career in Oxford, and gained somewhat of a reputation for eccentricity and invincibility.

Dorothy Lamb, Lillian Tenant and Lorimer were the first women to participate in an excavation conducted by the British School at Athens.

[10] The excavation, led by Richard MacGillivray Dawkins, the director of the British School, was conducted from March to May 1911.

[11] In 1916, she was working in the Naval Intelligence Department of the Admiralty;[12] in the following year she went to Salonica as a nursing orderly in the Scottish Women's Hospital (the Girton and Newnham Unit).

[1] In 1935 she gave a well-received paper for the Classical Association on "Temple and Statue Cult in Homer" at the Ashmolean.
