Élisabeth[-Claude] Jacquet de La Guerre (17 March 1665, Paris – 27 June 1729, Paris) was a French harpsichordist and composer.

Élisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre
Played the harpsichord with flair,
Which showed that gentlewomen can
Excel upon the clavecin.
Her published music clearly shows her
To have been a skilled composer.
(And favor from the fourteenth Louis
Proves her status wasn’t hooey!)
And that is all that I have to share
Concerning Madame de La Guerre.
