The Eliott Baronetcy, of Stobs in the County of Roxburgh, is a title in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia. It was created on 3 December 1666 for Gilbert Eliott.{{Citation| editor-last=Cokayne| editor-first=George Edward |year=1904 | title= Complete Baronetage volume 4 (1665–1707) | url= http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924092524408#page/n277/mode/2up | volume=4| location=Exeter | publisher=William Pollard and Co| pages= 258| accessdate = 2 February 2019}} The second baronet was a member of the pre-union Parliament of Scotland. The third Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Roxburghshire. The Eliott Baronets share a common early Elliot ancestry with the nearby Earls of Minto (Elliot). It is thought that the surname spelling differences were contrived to differentiate the branches.

George Augustus Eliott, 1st Baron Heathfield was the tenth son of the third Baronet.
