Queen Elisabeth of Friskland (born Infanta Isabel of Portugal; 13 June 1721 - 8 April 1794) was Queen consort of Friskland from 1741 to 1756.

Married to her first cousin, Henrik II of Friskland in 1770, she took the Swedish form of her name, Elisabeth. As her husband died young, she served as her son's regent until he reached his majority and assumed Kingship.
