Paul Elliott MBE (born 18 March 1964 in Lewisham, London) is a former footballer who played as a defender.

Starting his career with Charlton Athletic in the early 1980s, Elliott signed for First Division Luton Town in 1982. He then joined Aston Villa (in 1985) and spent two years at Italian club Pisa Calcio before joining Celtic in 1989. In his final season at Parkhead, Elliott was awarded the Scottish Footballer of the Year award. In the summer of 1991, he signed for Chelsea for £1,400,000.

In September 1992, Elliott sustained a serious knee injury, resulting from a challenge by Liverpool's Dean Saunders. The injury eventually forced him to retire. A few years later, Elliott filed a lawsuit against Saunders seeking damages for the career-ending injury. However, he lost the case.

Elliott was often a pundit on Football Italia.

In 2003, Elliott was awarded the MBE for his work with young players and his involvement with anti-racism initiatives in football. Along with Mark Walters of Rangers, Elliott and Walters were subjected to racist abuse from opposition fans. [http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/sport.cfm?id=296732002]
