Stephen Elliott, Jr. (October 26, 1830 – February 21, 1866) was a Confederate States Army brigadier general during the American Civil War. He was a planter, state legislator in South Carolina and militia officer before the Civil War and a fisherman after the war.[2] Elliott again was elected to the state legislature after the war but was unable to serve due to his early death.[3]

Sifakis says the reassignment of Elliott's brigade to Stewart's corps in 1865 took place on April 10 but Eicher gives the date as the month of March. This appears more likely since the Battle of Bentonville was in March. 2. Sifakis refers to Elliott "eventually surrendering with Johnston." Eicher states that there is no record of his parole or pardon. Bradley, 2000, p. 294 lists Lt. Col. J. Welsman Brown as in command of Elliott's brigade at the time of surrender. 3. Eicher states that Elliott was wounded in the arm at the Battle of Bentonville but Bradley, 1995, in an entire book about the battle, states that Elliott received a leg wound.)
