Bruce Elliott (1917-1973) was an American writer who wrote mystery fiction, science fiction, and also worked as a television screenwriter. He was also a magician.

Elliott was the writer of 15 Shadow stories that appeared in "The Shadow Magazine" between 1946 and 1948. These stories are held in low regard by Shadow fans because of Elliott's atypical handling of the character, best exemplified by the 3 stories in which the Shadow does not appear in his costumed identity.

In November 1972, Elliott was hit by a taxi and lapsed into a coma. He died 4 months later.
