Bishop A. B. Elliott (1887 – 19 December 1970) was the second Bishop - in - Dornakal Diocese of the Church of South India succeeding V. S. Azariah as well as the second Bishop - in - Diocese of Krishna-Godavari. Elliott lived the life of a Catholic priest and never got married even though the institution of marriage was optional in the Anglican Church. From the time he came to Dornakal in 1913, Elliott remained serving the cause of the Church until his death, aged 83.

Anthony Blacker Elliott studied at the Trinity College, Dublin, taking a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1912 and came to India as a missionary of the Church Missionary Society in 1913 soon after the erection of the Diocese of Dornakal. After nearly two decades of episcopal ministry, he was made Assistant Bishop - in - Dornakal in 1935 and elevated as Bishop in 1945 the year in which Bishop V. S. Azariah died. From 1945 to 1955, Eliott occupied the Cathedra at the Ephiphany Cathedral, Dornakal until his transfer in 1955 to the adjoining Diocese of Krishna-Godavari.

Elliott moved to Eluru in 1955 following his transfer by the Church of South India Synod to the Diocese of Krishna-Godavari to fill the sede vacante caused by the sudden death of Bishop Y. Muthyalu. Elliott was installed as Bishop on 26 October 1955.
