Elisabeth Hauptmann (born June 20, 1897 in Peckelsheim, Westphalia; died April 20, 1973 in East Berlin) was a German writer who worked with Bertolt Brecht. She got to know Brecht in 1922, the same year she came to Berlin. She began collaborating with him in 1924, and is listed as a co-author of The Threepenny Opera (1928). She was the main text author of the musical comedy Happy End (1929). She was in exile in the United States from 1934 to 1949; she married Paul Dessau in 1943. After Brecht's death in 1956, she published works of his at the Suhrkamp Verlag, a German publishing house, and worked as a dramaturg for the Berlin Ensemble. In 1977, a collection of her works was published under the name Julia ohne Romeo (Julia without Romeo).

In 1961, she received the Lessing Award, which the Ministry for Culture of East Germany awarded every year.
