Princess Elisabeth, Duchess von Hohenberg (Elisabeth Hilda Zita Marie Anna Antonia Friederike Wilhelmine Luise; 22 December 1922 – 22 November 2011) was a Luxembourgian princess. She was a daughter of Grand Duchess Charlotte and Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma, the sister of Jean, Grand Duke of Luxembourg and the aunt of Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg. In 1956 she married Franz, Duke von Hohenberg, a grandson of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination in 1914 sparked World War I.
Princess Elisabeth was born at Berg Castle in Luxembourg on 22 December 1922 as the second child and first daughter of Grand Duchess Charlotte and Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma. To commemorate her birth, Luxembourg issued a stamp as a souvenir sheet the following year, the world's first such miniature sheet.
Facing the German invasion in May 10, 1940 during World War II, the Grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg left the country to find refuge in Portugal. The Trenton cruiser sent by President Roosevelt, took her father Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma and his children to the American continent, while Charlotte, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg headed for London. Forced to respect American impartiality, the Grand Ducal Family settled for Montreal, Canada.
