Elizabeth Parke Custis Law (née Elizabeth Parke Custis; August 21, 1776 – December 31, 1831),^[1] sometimes known as Eliza Law, was the eldest granddaughter of Martha Dandridge Washington and a step-grandchild of George Washington. She married Thomas Law, the youngest son of the late bishop of Carlisle, England, and an experienced administrator with the East India Company.

Eliza Law became a social leader in the District of Columbia, and she worked to preserve the Washington family heritage. She and her husband separated in 1804 and divorced in 1811. They had one daughter who survived infancy and three grandchildren.
