Élisabeth Ferrand (1700 - 3 September 1752) was a French salon-holder and philosopher.
A portrait of her by Maurice Quentin de La Tour with the title "Mlle Ferrand Meditating on Newton" is held in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich.[1]
In 1749 Ferrand, along with her friends the Princesse de Talmont and the Comtesse de Vasse, helped Prince Charles Edward Stuart to hide in Paris, sheltering him in a convent and in their homes.[2]
