Elizabeth Jane Kucinich (née Harper; born 22 October 1977) is a British organic food and vegan advocate. She is the producer of two documentaries, (Hot Water and GMO OMG) and a socially conscious business owner. Married to former 8-term US Congressman and two time Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, Kucinich splits her time between Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, D.C.

In 2005, after working with rural and urban poor in India and Tanzania, Kucinich moved to the USA to organise the first international conference on monetary reform for the American Monetary Institute. She has previously been the Director of Policy at the Center for Food Safety and the Director of Government Affairs for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and a congressional liaison for former President of the United Nations General Assembly.

Kucinich is a board director of several organisations, including Sean Penn's Haitian relief organisation, J/P HRO; the Rodale Institute; a fledgling vegan food company, Gardenbar; and UNRWA USA, a nonprofit supporting the work of UNRWA.

Kucinich is executive producer of GMO OMG, which "arguably does for genetically modified organisms what Al Gore’s 2006 Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth did for climate change. Kucinich is also producer of the documentary "Hot Water" which reveals radioactive contamination of ground water across the United States.

Kucinich's appearance has been noted in the media. Vanity Fair magazine named Elizabeth Kucinich among the nation's "best dressed" political wives, the Plain Dealer featured her preference for shopping in resale and consignment stores and Cleveland Magazine pegged her as "Cleveland's most interesting". Esquire magazine named her one of the sexiest women in politics, while the Washington Post described Kucinich as "if not a national obsession, then certainly a treasured District landmark" who as "an excellent example of genetics could easily have made it in the other Hollywood."
