Lady Bridget Manners (died 24 July 1604) was the daughter of John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland and his wife Elizabeth Charlton, Countess of Rutland. She went to court at the age of thirteen to be one of Queen Elizabeth I's maids of honour. Bridget Hussey, Countess of Bedford, the wife of Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland (Bridget Manners' grandfather), was so charmed with Bridget that she decided to sponsor her despite her deficient education.
