Elizabeth Lillian "Lizzie" Spaulding Lewis (previously Randall) is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera Guiding Light. The role was last portrayed by actress Marcy Rylan from February 7, 2006 to September 18, 2009.

She is the daughter of Phillip Spaulding and Beth Raines, born onscreen on Thanksgiving in 1990. Her birth year was later revised to 1986 when she turned 18 in 2004. She is the third Elizabeth in her family; her paternal grandmother and mother's first names are Elizabeth as well. For Lizzie's battle with leukemia in 2000, the show received a Special Recognition Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for bringing national awareness of the disease to the attention of daytime viewers.

The role of Lizzie as an infant was played by Julie Levine from 1990 to 1991. The role was assumed on December 5, 1996, by Hayden Panettiere, who initially appeared for only a few episodes. However, Panettiere returned regularly the following year, from November 1, 1997. For Lizzie's battle with leukemia in 2000, the soap received a Special Recognition Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for bringing national awareness of the disease to the attention of daytime viewers. In 2000, Panettiere vacated the role, with her last airdate on October 13, 2000. It recast with MacKenzie Mauzy, who aired from November 21, 2000 to July 12, 2002. Mauzy then was briefly replaced by Allison Hirschlag, who portrayed the role from August 12, 2002 to January 28, 2003. The character was rapidly aged, and assumed by Crystal Hunt on February 25, 2003. Hunt received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series, as well as a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination for her portrayal. Hunt departed on January 31, 2006, and the role was last portrayed by Marcy Rylan from February 7, 2006 to the soap's series finale on September 18, 2009.
