Elizabeth Spencer was an American soprano during the later 19th century and early 20th century.

She is primarily remembered as a recording artist for Thomas Alva Edison. She made numerous recordings for Edison Standard Records from 1888 until 1912.[1]

Her voice is noted for its sterling operatic quality combined with ability to sing in the vernacular.[2]

Spencer died in 1935.[1]
