Elizabeth Keir (1747-1834) was a Scottish poet and novelist. It is difficult to find information around Keir, however she seems to have grown up in Corstorphine near Edinburgh. The daughter of a dental surgeon, she married William Keir, a Scottish physician in 1779. Following his sudden death in 1783, Elizabeth Keir returned to Scotland with her three children.

Keir did not put her name to either of her two published novels, Interesting Memoirs (1785) and The History of Miss Grenville (1787) Keir's two volumes of poems can be found at the National Library of Scotland.
