Elise Justine Bayard Cutting (August 16, 1823[1] – c.1852) was an American poet.

Born in Fishkill, New York,[2] Bayard was the daughter of Robert Bayard and Elizabeth McEvers.[3] She penned what scholars have called "unremarkable" verse about common subjects. She published frequently in the The Knickerbocker and the Literary World and was identified as a promising young author in a column written by Sarah Josepha Hale. It is difficult to definitively assign many poems to her as they were often unsigned or only initialed with her maiden initials, E.J.B., or her married ones, E.B.C..[2] She married Fulton Cutting and their sons were financiers William Bayard Cutting and Robert Fulton Cutting. Her papers are in the library of the New York Historical Society.[4]
