Elizabeth Caroline "Beth" Orton (East Dereham, 14 dicembre 1970) è una cantautrice folk inglese. Alle origini della sua carriera, il suo sound era caratterizzato da una significativa fusione tra folk e musica elettronica; tale commistione si è andata ridimensionando con la maturità, lasciando spazio a un suono più acustico e a uno stile compositivo più intimistico. La sua popolarità - in particolare negli Stati Uniti - si è considerevolmente accresciuta in seguito all'utilizzo di molti suoi brani in celebri serials televisivi come Felicity, Streghe, Dawson's Creek e Grey's Anatomy, oltre che per il grande schermo come Vanilla Sky e Il divo. Nel 2000 è stata insignita del Brit Award come Miglior artista femminile inglese.
