Eleanor Maltravers or Mautravers, 2nd Baroness Maltravers suo jure (c. 1345 – 12 January 1405) was an English noblewoman and heiress.

Eleanor Maltravers (c.1345 – 12 January 1405), was the younger daughter and coheir of Sir John Maltravers (d. 22 January 1349) and his wife Gwenthlian. She had a brother, Henry Maltravers, who died an infant before 8 February 1350, and a sister, Joan Maltravers, who married firstly Sir John de Keynes, and secondly Sir Robert Rous, but died without issue.

When Eleanor's grandfather, John Maltravers, 1st Baron Maltravers, died on 13 February 1364, the Maltravers barony fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, between his granddaughters and coheirs, Joan and Eleanor. At the death of her sister Joan in or after 1376, Eleanor succeeded as de jure Baroness Maltravers.

On 17 February 1359 Eleanor married John FitzAlan, 1st Baron Arundel (d. 13 December 1379), by whom she had five sons and two daughters.

Sir John Fitzalan died in the Irish Sea on 15 or 16 December 1379.

Eleanor married secondly, on 9 August 1380, as his second wife, Reynold Cobham, 2nd Baron Cobham of Sterborough (died 3 or 6 July 1403), by whom she had three sons and two daughters:

In 1384 Eleanor and her second husband were divorced on the ground that they were within the second and three degrees of consanguinity. They were subsequently allowed to remarry, with proper dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury, on 29 September 1384.

Eleanor died 12 January 1405, and was buried with her first husband at Lewes Priory, Sussex. Her will, dated 26 September 1404, was proved 16 January 1404/1405 at Maidstone, Kent.
