Stuart Thomas Elliott (born 27 August 1977) is an English football manager and former professional player who played as a defender or midfielder in the Football League for 11 clubs. He is the manager of Northern League Division One club Newcastle Benfield.

Elliott started his career as a schoolboy at Arsenal, and after being released by the club he signed an apprenticeship with Newcastle United in 1995. 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 substitutes' bench on six occasions and eventually became captain of the reserve team.

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, mostly with Northwich Victoria and York City before joining Grays Athletic in 2008.
