Elinor Leigh was a British stage actor of the seventeenth century.
Born Elinor Dixon, she was billed as Mrs LeighorMrs Lee after she married the actor Anthony Leigh in 1671. This has led to some difficulty distinguishing on playbills between her and the actress Mary Slingsby who also acted under her married name of Lee at the time. In addition another actress with the name Elizabeth Leigh was also active during the period.[1]
