Stephen Elliott (November 27 1918 - May 21 2005) was an American actor.

Elliott's first acting engagement was at the New York Neighborhood Playhouse in 1946. After serving in World War II, Elliott started a successful career on Broadway with his debut in Shakespeare's "The Tempest". In 1967, he was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for "Marat/Sade". Two years later he won the Drama Desk Award for "A Whistle in the Dark". Additional Broadway credits include "King Lear", "The Miser", "Georgy", "The Crucible", and "The Creation of the World and Other Business". His television credits include the role of Jane Wyman's first husband in "Falcon Crest", "Columbo", Texan millionaire attorney Scotty Demarest in "Dallas", and Judge Harold Aldrich in "Chicago Hope".

Elliott married his wife stage actress Nancy Chase in 1947 and divorced in 1960. They both had two children, Jency and Jon. He married his second wife, actress Alice Hirson whom he met on Broadway in 1964, but not married until 2004. The following year he died in Woodland Hills, California as result of congestive heart failure. Ironically, both Elliott and Hirson appeared in recurring roles on the television series "Dallas".
