Elisabeth Real (circa 1700 – 1777), was a New Orleans businesswoman. She managed the merchant company of her second spouse by proxy during his absences and in her own name after 1740, in addition to running a successful boarding house. She was one of the first European settler women in the French colony of Louisiana, and the real figure behind the famous Madame John's Legacy in the French Quarter.
