Elizabeth Harrison (February 21, 1897 in Indianapolis, Indiana – December 25, 1955 in New York City) was the third of three surviving children of U.S. President Benjamin Harrison, and the only child of his second wife, Mary Scott Lord Dimmick.

On April 6, 1921, Elizabeth Harrison married James Blaine Walker (January 20, 1889 – January 15, 1978), a grandnephew of Secretary of State James G. Blaine, a member of her father's cabinet. Their daughter, Jane Harrison Walker, married Newell Garfield, a grandson of Interior Secretary James Rudolph Garfield, and great-grandson of President James Garfield.

Elizabeth Harrison was founder and publisher of "Cues on the News", an investment newsletter for women.
