Robin Francis Eliot (7 March 1942 – 10 February 2017) was an English first-class cricketer and racing horse owner.

Eliot was born at Gloucester in March 1942. He was educated at Radley College, before going up to Lincoln College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford he made two appearances in first-class cricket in 1961. The first came for Oxford University against Leicestershire at Oxford, while the second came for L. C. Stevens' XI against Cambridge University at Eastbourne.[2] After graduating from Oxford, he joined Lloyd's of London as an aviation underwriter, before running his own company from 1977–94.[1] He had a keen interest in horse racing, owning National Hunt horses, including Deep Sensation which won the Queen Mother Champion Chase in 1993.[1] He died in February 2017.
