Elizabeth Haffenden (18 April 1906 – 29 May 1976) was a British costume designer. In a career spanning over four decades, she is recognized for her prolific work across stage and screen. She is perhaps best known for creating the costumes for most of the Gainsborough melodramas. Haffenden has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design twice, for Ben-Hur (1959) and A Man for All Seasons (1966), winning both times.
