Elizabeth Towne (1865 – 1960) was an influential writer, editor, and publisher in the New Thought and self-help movements.

She was the founder and publisher of Nautilus Magazine, a Journal of the New Thought Movement that ran from 1898 through 1953. She was forced to close it due to her advancing age (she was 88 years old at the time).

She also operated the Elizabeth Towne Company, which published an extensive list of New Thought, metaphysical, self-help, and self-improvement books.
