Phil Elliott (born 1960) is a British comic book creator who was published in Escape Magazine. He was part of the British small press comics scene in the 1980s.

After contributing spot illustrations to comic fanzines such as Bemusing and The Panelologist in the mid 70's, Elliott decided to try his hand at publishing his own fanzine and, with the help of Ian Wieczorek and Paul Chester released Blitzine, followed by Delapsus Resurgam. In 1977 Elliott, with co-editors John Matthews (a fellow comic artist) and Ian Wieczorek, published the comic fanzine, Elipse. Elipse ran for three issues and printed early strips by Kev F Sutherland, Mike Matthews, and Dave Hine as well as Elliott himself. Elipse was a unique fanzine at the time, featuring solely comic strips.

In the early 1980s Elliott became re-acquainted with an old comic collecting friend, Paul Gravett, who was working on Pssst! magazine. Unable to get his work published in Pssst!, Elliott decided to return to self-publishing and, with Ian Wieczorek again, released the Fast Fiction comic, which took its name from the Fast Fiction comics distribution service.

One of the artists Phil chose to publish in Fast Fiction was Eddie Campbell. Elliott collaborated with Campbell between 1984 and 1986 on various comic strips that ran in the music paper Sounds and drew the first issue of Campbell's Lucifer. Elliott was also responsible for colouring many of the covers of Campbell's comics for Harrier Comics.

Elliott also formed a strong creative partnership with Glenn Dakin, which resulted in comics such as Greenhouse Warriors, Mr Night and The Man from Cancer.

Elliott was a regular contributor to the influential UK comic magazine Escape, and in 1985 Escape published his Doc Chaos comic. Doc Chaos was written by Dave Thorpe and Lawrence Gray.
