Elizabeth Barton (1506-1534) was an English mystic and prophetess who was known for her prophecies and visions. She was born in Sussex, England, and was said to have had a number of visions and prophecies from a young age.

Barton became known as "The Nun of Kent" and gained a significant following among the English nobility and clergy. She claimed to have had visions of the Virgin Mary and other saints, and her prophecies were often interpreted as warnings against the marriage of King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn.

However, Barton's prophecies ultimately proved to be false, and she was accused of witchcraft and treason. She was arrested, imprisoned, and eventually executed in 1534.
