Princess Izabela Elzbieta Czartoryska (nee Countess Morsztyn) (1671–1756) was a Polish noble lady.

Morsztyn married Kazimierz Czartoryski in 1693. Along with her husband she supported Prince of Conti as a candidate to the Polish throne.

In 1736 in Warsaw, she established the first political salon, where politicians met and the Familia party conferred. Women played a significant role in those meetings.

One of her daughters, Konstancja Czartoryska (1700–1759), married Stanislaw Poniatowski, and became mother of Stanislaw August Poniatowski, king of Poland.

She is an ancestor of Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz, Queen (Consort) of the Belgians. Izabela Elzbieta Morsztynand Prince Kazimierz Czartoryski's great-granddaughter Zofia Czartoryska and her husband Stanislaw Kostka Zamoyski are Prince Leon Sapieha-Kodenski's parents-in-law. Prince Leon's great-great-granddaughter, Princess Zofia Sapieha-Kodenska, is Queen Mathilde's maternal grandmother, who died in a car accident with the princess's sister, Marie-Alix d'Udekem d'Acoz. They are 10th-generation ancestors to Queen Mathilde.
