Elizabeth Shepherd (born 12 August 1936) is an English character actress whose work has spanned the stage and both the big and small screens. Her surname has been variously billed as "Shephard" and "Sheppard".In 1960, she appeared in an adaptation of A. J. Cronin's novel, The Citadel. She was the original choice to play Emma Peel in the 1960s television series The Avengers. However, after filming nearly two episodes, Shepherd left the production and was replaced by Diana Rigg. In 1970 she appeared on Broadway in Barry England's Conduct Unbecoming, a story of the British Army in Kipling's India, as Mrs. Hasseltine. She was praised for her performance in Time magazine.

She later appeared in the cult series The Corridor People (1966), as the ill-fated reporter Joan Hart in Damien: Omen II (1978), and as one of The Cleopatras (1983), a BBC historical drama.She starred as Alison in Hell Boats (1970). Elizabeth Shepherd has acted in numerous stage plays in both Shakespearean and contemporary dramas. As well as teaching drama at the Stella Adler school, she starred in "December Fools" in 2006 at the Abingdon Theater in New York.An article in the Toronto Star reported an incident of Shepherd being a victim of identity theft and mortgage fraud in 2006.

In 2006 she became a victim of identity theft and mortgage fraud, after subletting her home for five months. The renters created a false Elizabeth Shepherd, who sold the home to another member of the group (using a false name), who in turn put a $250,000 mortgage on the property, took the cash, defaulted, disappeared, and left the real Elizabeth Shepherd on the hook. Shepherd went public with her story in the hopes of warning other people to be careful when renting out their homes.

She was originally cast for the role of Mrs. Peel in The Avengers (1961) and they even recorded some material, but those scenes were shot again with Diana Rigg.
