Elizabeth Jackson was a prominent London print seller active from 1783 to 1788, known for publishing nearly seventy prints by Thomas Rowlandson during the mid-1780s. Operating from 14 Marylebone Street, Golden Square, she specialized in selling prints both wholesale and retail. As one of several women publishers in 18th-century London, including Mary Darly and Hannah Humphrey, Jackson's work was mostly non-political and included satirical depictions of Richard and Maria Cosway.

Her output featured nearly 45 different prints at the British Museum, with some reissued by Thomas Cornell. She significantly contributed to Rowlandson's career through three notable series:


Jackson's plates were later acquired by S.W. Fores, who reissued them with modified details. Her role in fostering Rowlandson's early career and her business operations highlight her significance in London's print-selling industry during the late 18th century.
