Princess Izabela Elżbieta Czartoryska (née Countess Morsztyn) (1671–1756) was a Polish noble lady.

In 1736 in Warsaw, she established the first political salon, where politicians met and the Familia party conferred. Women played a significant role in those meetings.[1]

One of her daughters, Konstancja Czartoryska (1700–1759), married Stanisław Poniatowski, and became mother of Stanisław August Poniatowski, king of Poland.

She is an ancestor of Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz, Queen (Consort) of the Belgians.
