Elizabeth Cooke was an English silversmith.

Resident in London, Cooke was the widow either of largeworker Thomas Cooke II, who died in 1761[1] or of Samuel Cooke.[2] She registered her own mark on 24 January 1764; classed as a smallworker, she lived in Foster Lane. A George III salver of 1767 is owned by the National Museum of Women in the Arts.[1] She is known to have been alive as late as 23 September 1773, as at that date she is mentioned as the main beneficiary in the will of her brother-in-law Edward Cooke.[2]
