John Elliott (born September 5, 1963) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.

Elliott joined the Nationwide Tour in 1991 and didn't find much success but went through qualifying school and earned his PGA Tour card for 1992. He struggled during his rookie year and had to go through qualifying school again to retain his card. He returned to the Nationwide Tour in 1994 where he won the Nike Mississippi Gulf Coast Classic. He returned to the PGA Tour in 1996, earning his Tour card through qualifying school for the third time. After another unsuccessful year on tour, he returned to the Nationwide Tour in 1997 where he won the Nike Alabama Classic. In 1998, he recorded two runner-up finishes on the Nationwide Tour and earned his PGA Tour card through qualifying school for the fourth time. In his return to the PGA Tour, he struggled and returned to the Nationwide Tour in 2000. Between 2000 and 2004 he recorded five runner-up finishes on tour. He returned to the PGA Tour in 2005, earning his card through qualifying school for the fifth time and it would be his last year on Tour.

As of 2016, Elliott caddies summers at Shelter Harbor in Charlestown, Rhode Island, and winters at Dye Preserve in Jupiter, Florida.[1]
