Stuart Thomas Elliott (born 27 August 1977 in London, England) is an English footballer, who is currently playing for Grays Athletic.

Elliott started his career as a schoolboy at Arsenal, and signed a professional contract with Newcastle United in 1995 after being released by the club. He spent five years with the club, during which time he was loaned out seven times. He never made a first-team appearance for Newcastle, but appeared on the bench on five occasions and eventually became captain of the reserve side.

He left the club in 2000 to join Darlington, where he played for most of the 2000–01 season before joining Plymouth Argyle in 2001. He eventually dropped down to non-league football with Durham City and Scarborough, before making a brief return to the Football League with Exeter City in 2002. Since then, he has played in non-league football, with Northwich Victoria and York City before joining Grays Athletic in May 2008.
