Nope. Her father Henry VIII did and her successor James I did. But she didn't.

A different response:

It is difficult to say who first translated The Bible from the original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, but it certainly was not Elizabeth I, Henry VIII or King James. The only influence any of those English monarchs had was to sponsor versions(not translations) to be made from the Latin Vulgate into the contemporary English of their time.

Many hundreds of years earlier, the Hebrew Scriptures were translated into Koine Greek in the 3rd and 2nd Centuries BCE. That translation is known as the Septuagint.

Portions of the Christian Scriptures, originally written in Greek, were translated into Latin sometime after the 1st Century, and were collective known as the Old Latin Bible, or Vetus Latina. St. Jerome (382 - 405) is credited with assembling the Latin Vulgate Bible. That continued to be the commonly used Bible until the Protestant Reformation. The development of the printing press in the 15th century also had a significant impact, when the Bible began to be translated into European languages, beginning with the Gutenburg Bible.
