Elinor Sneshell (fl. 1593) was a female barber surgeon who was active during the reign of Elizabeth I of England. In the 1593 Returns of Strangers in the Metropolis, she was listed as a widow originating from Valenciennes who had been resident in London for 26 years.[1] Sneshell was one of only two known female barber surgeons who practised during this period.[2]
