Elizabeth Whitlock Kemble (2 de abril de 1761 - 27 de febrero de 1836) fue una actriz británica.

Miembro de la familia de actores Kemble, hizo su primera aparición en un escenario en 1783 en la obra "Drury Lane" con el papel de Portia. En 1785 se casó con Charles E. Whitlock, con quien fue a Estados Unidos donde pudo lograr un notable éxito, teniendo incluso el honor de comparecer ante el presidente George Washington.
