Timothy Scott Elbert (born August 13, 1985) is a retired Professional baseball pitcher. He had played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers. A former first round draft pick, his career had been hampered by various arm injuries.

Elbert was selected in the 1st round of the 2004 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He made his professional debut for the Ogden Raptors and struck out 45 batters in 49.2 innings. With the Single-A Columbus Catfish in 2005, he went 8–5 with a 2.66 ERA in 24 starts. In the 2006 season, he pitched for the Vero Beach Dodgers and earned Florida State League midseason All-Star honors. He was then promoted to the Double-A Jacksonville Suns, where he went 6–4 with a 3.61 ERA and was ranked as the #3 prospect in the Southern League by Baseball America. He also ranked #11 on MinorLeagueBaseball.com's "Top 50 Prospects List.
