Elizabeth Diane Downs (née Frederickson, born August 7, 1955) is an American woman who murdered her daughter and attempted to murder her other two children on May 19, 1983, in Oregon. She claimed to police that a man had shot her and the children during an attempted carjacking. In 1984, she was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after twenty-five years.

Downs has been repeatedly denied parole, and has been diagnosed with narcissistic, histrionic, and antisocial personality disorders, and labelled a "deviant sociopath".
