Elisabeth of Mansfeld-Hinterort (1565[1][2] – 12 April 1596), was a German noblewoman member of the House of Mansfeld and by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach.

In Wiener Neustadt on 23 November 1591 Elisabeth married John Ernest, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach with his brother. They had one son:

  • John Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach (b. and d. Marksuhl, 8 April 1596).

Four days later, Elisabeth died aged 31, probably from childbirth complications. She was buried in Creuzburg alongside her son.[5][better source needed]
