Elisa de Ménerville (born 1768; fl. 1797) was a French memoir writer. She is known for her memoirs, describing her life during the French Revolution. ^[1]

She was born to the banker Jean Fougeret and philanthrophist Anne-Françoise de Fougeret, sister of the memoirist Anguelique de Maussion, and married to a nobleman.

Her memoirs describe her life in exile in the Austrian Netherlands (1791-1793), the Dutch Republic and London (1794-1797); they are representative for noblewomen in exile during the revolution, but give an unusual description of the working life of female exiles in the London emigré community.
