Elizabeth Dawbarn (died 1839), was an English nurse and a pamphleteer from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, who wrote on the nature of Christ, the influence women can exert on men, and the rights and needs of young children. Her works were distributed through the Baptist movement.

Originally Elizabeth Saltonstall, she came from Alford, Lincolnshire and was described as "a lady of substance". She is said to have been the only surviving member of a family descended from Samuel Saltonstall, the elder brother of Richard Saltonstall, Lord Mayor of London from 1597 to 1598.

Little is known of her before she married Richard Bunbury Dawbarn of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire on 30 April 1782. She then encouraged her husband to leave the Church of England and join the Particular Baptist congregation in Wisbech. He later became a Baptist preacher. Their eight children were Mary (1783–1828), Thomas (1785–1863), Richard (1786–1826), John (1789–1849), Elizabeth (born 1790), Ann (1795–1863), Robert (1799–1888) and Frances (died 1801). Her husband predeceased her in 1829 at the age of 72.
