Ernest George "Puffer" Elliott (3 January 1900 – 17 November 1980) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Elliott was a half back flanker in Fitzroy's 1922 VFL premiership winning side.[1] He also played in the 1923 VFL Grand Final, but this time finished on the losing team.[2]

An eight time VFL representative,[1] he made appearances at the 1924 Hobart Carnival.

Elliott coached the Wangaratta Football Club in the Ovens & Murray Football League in 1928[3] and he later played with Camberwell in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).
