Elmer Torres Espiritu (born November 23, 1985) is a Filipino professional basketball player who last played for Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He played five seasons for the University of the East Red Warriors in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines from 2005 to 2009. He captained the Warriors team that finished runner-up to the Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles in the 2009 season, where he averaged 13.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game while winning two with the Highlight Player of the Year and the Defensive Player trophies.
He was selected by the Alaska Aces as 4th pick overall in the 2010 PBA draft. However, Espiritu played limited minutes in the stacked Alaska squad, averaging only 4.2 minutes per game, 0.6 points per game, and 0.3 assists in his only 9 games in the Alaska Aces.
On May 15, 2011, Espiritu was traded to the Air21 Express for Wesley Gonzales for the 2011 Governor’s Cup after the Express and the Alaska Aces formally agreed in a trade.
On September 6, 2011, Espiritu, along with Brian Ilad, was traded from Barako Bull to the Shopinas.com Clickers in a trade that also involved Mark Barroca and Don Allado.
On August 23, 2012, Espiritu was traded by Air21 to the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel along with a 2013 draft first round selection (who turned out to be Greg Slaughter) through a three-team trade.
