Lady Sarah Elizabeth Hay-Williams (née Amherst; 9 July 1801 – 8 August 1876) was an English artist and botanical illustrator.[1][2] She was born on 9 July 1801 to Sarah Amherst and William Amherst, 1st Earl Amherst.[3] She travelled with her parents to India and while there completed several watercolour paintings now held in the collection of the British Library.[4][5][6] She later married Sir John Hay-Williams in 1842. In 1846 Hay-Williams contributed a watercolour to Edwards's Botanical Register.[7] After returning to the United Kingdom she had two children including Margaret Verney.[8] She died in 1876 at Chateau Rhianfa in Anglesey on 8 August 1876.[7]

The leguminous tree Amherstia nobilis is named by Danish botanist Nathaniel Wallich in honour of her and her mother Sarah Amherst.[9]
