The Elliott River is a river in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland, Australia.

The headwaters of the river rise on the eastern edge of the Bingera Forest Reserve approximately {{convert|12|km|mi|0}} south of Bundaberg and flows in an easterly direction. The river crosses the Goodwood Road passing through the suburb of Elliot and entering the Elliott River Fish Habitat Area and then discharging in the Coral Sea near Elliott Heads. The river descends {{convert|30|m}} over its {{convert|25|km|adj=on}} course.[1]

The river has a catchment area of {{convert|727|km2|sqmi|0}} of which an area of {{convert|11|km2|sqmi|0}} is composed of estuarine wetlands.[2]

The river was named in honour of Gilbert Eliott, a public servant and politician who served as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland between 1860 and 1870, and was Member for Wide Bay during the same term. The spelling of the river has been changed to double "l" over time.[3]
