  • Elizabeth Cresswell, född 1625, död 1684/1698, även känd som Mother Cresswell och Mother Cresswell of Clerkenwell, var en engelsk bordellmamma i 1600-talets London. Hon förestod sin samtids mest berömda bordell och var berömd för sin verksamhet. Karl III av England tillhörde hennes kunder. Hon och hennes verksamhet nämndes ofta i tidens skrifter för att beskriva epokens omoral. Hon var föremål för de så kallade 'Bawdy House Riots' (Bordellupploppen) i London, och stod som officiell avsändare till den berömda "The Poor-Whores Petition". (sv)
