Elizabeth Rose Rebecca Watts-Russell (1833 – 7 October 1905) was a New Zealand community leader. As Elizabeth Rose Rebecca Bradshaw, she was born in Ireland in about 1833.

She married John Watts-Russell and they emigrated to Canterbury on Sir George Seymour in 1850. After her husband's death on 2 April 1875, she married his friend, Alfred Richard Creyke on 28 April 1877 at the British Embassy in Paris.

On the south side of the cathedral's nave, there is also a Watts-Russell Memorial Window. She died on 7 October 1905 at Horsham, West Sussex.
