Jim Elliff (* 1947) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Evangelist und Autor aus dem reformatorisch-baptistischen Spektrum sowie Gründer des Dienstes Christian Communicators Worldwide.

Bibellesern begegnet er heute vor allem durch pointierte Impulse zu geistlicher Wachsamkeit, praktischer Nachfolge und reformatorischem Schriftverständnis.
