Elizabeth Gloyn is a Reader in Latin Language and Literature at Royal Holloway, the University of London and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Her research focuses on the intersection between Latin literature, ancient philosophy (particularly Stoicism) and gender studies; as well as topics of classical reception, and the history of women in the field of Classics.

Gloyn completed her BA and MPhil at Newnham College Cambridge, and received a PhD from Rutgers (the State University of New Jersey) in 2011.

Between 2011 and 2013, she was a Teaching Fellow at the University of Birmingham, before moving to Royal Holloway. Prior to her current appointment as Reader in Latin Languages and Literature in 2020, Gloyn acted as a Lecturer (2013–2018) and a Senior Lecturer at Royal Holloway.

Gloyn is also a founding member of the Women's Classical Committee UK and served as Administrator from 2015 to 2022; and an Editorial Consultant for the online Companion to The Worlds of Roman Women. She was a trustee of the Classical Association from 2017 to 2022.

According to Gloyn, her research interests are "pretty broad". She has published widely on topics including Seneca the Younger, classical reception, the history of Classics, and issues of social and familial history within Latin literature more broadly.
