Elizabeth Jane Weston (Latin: Elisabetha Ioanna Westonia; Czech: Alžbeta Johana Vestonie) (2 November 1582, in London – 23 November 1612, in Prague) was an English-Czech poet, mostly known for her Neo-Latin poetry.
She had the unusual distinction for a woman of the time of having her poetry published.
The full works, published in two volumes in 1608, were entitled Parthenica (meaning Maidenly Writings).
The subject matter varied between idyllic reveries, odes to Emperor Rudolf II (originally sent to him with the intention of convincing him to lend money), odes to herself, and anti-Semitic diatribes.
