Isabel Rich, Countess of Holland (died August 1655), formerly Isabel Cope, was an English courtier.
She was the wife of Henry Rich, 1st Earl of Holland.
Isabel Cope was the daughter of Sir Walter Cope (c. 1553–1614) and his wife, the former Dorothy Grenville (1563–1638).
In or before 1616, she married Rich, then a knight and MP for Leicester, thus obtaining the title Lady Rich. When her husband was granted an earldom in 1624, by King James I of England, she became Countess of Holland.
Their children, several of whom died in infancy, included:
The countess's portrait was painted by William Larkin around the time of her marriage, and is held at Kenwood House in the care of English Heritage.
Her husband, a Royalist, already in poor health, was executed in 1649.
