Countess Palatine Elisabeth Johanna of Veldenz (22 February 1653 in Lauterecken - 5 February 1718 in Mörchingen), was a Countess Palatine of Veldenz by birth and by marriage Wald- and Rhinegravine of Salm-Kyrburg.
Elisabeth Johanna was a daughter of Count Palatine Leopold Louisof Veldenz (1625-1694) and his wife Agatha Christine (1632-1681), the daughter of Count Philip Wolfgang of Hanau-Lichtenberg.
She married on 27 December 1669 to Wild- and Rhinegrave John XI of Salm-Kyrburg (1635-1688). The marriage remained childless. After John's death in 1689, Elisabeth Johanna received Mörchingen Castle and the Lordships of Diemeringen and Helfingen[1] as her Wittum. After Elisabeth Johanna's death, the County of Mörchingen was claimed by the female descendants of John Casimir, Count Palatine of Kleeburg and George Frederick, Wild- and Rhinegrave of Salm-Kyrburg. In 1729, a Lotharingian court ruled in their favour[2]
