Lady Bridget Manners (died 24 July 1604) was the eldest daughter of John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland, and his wife Elizabeth Charlton.

Bridget entered the service of Elizabeth I in 1589 under the tutelage of Bridget Hussey, Countess of Bedford.[1] Bridget quickly became one of the Queen's favorites and eventually became responsible of her food as the Queen's carver.[1]

Barnabe Barnes dedicated his Parthenophil and Parthenophe to 'the Beautiful Lady, the Lady Bridget Manners'.[1]

Manners married Robert Tyrwhitt in secretly in 1594. Roger Manners wrote, "her Majesty taketh it for a great offence, and so, as I hear, she mindeth to punish". Bridget went to stay in the country at a house of the Countess of Bedford. Tyrwhitt was jailed for circumventing the queen.[2] Elizabeth interrupted her plans to travel to Belvoir Castle, the home of the Manners family. It took a cash settlement from Robert Manners, Earl of Rutland, to secure Tyrwhitt's release.[1]
