Alberto Elli (born 9 March 1964) is an Italian former road racing cyclist, who wore the yellow jersey for 4 days in the 2000 Tour de France. Elli was called up late for the 2000 Tour de France, and after a group of 12 cyclists stayed away from the others, Elli became a surprise leader, being the second oldest cyclist in the peloton.^[1] He kept the yellow jersey until the Pyrenées mountains, where he lost it to Lance Armstrong.^[2]

After retiring, he worked as a directeur sportif for several professional teams.

During the 2001 Giro d'Italia, the police found banned substances in Elli's hotel room.^[3] In October 2005, he received a six-month suspended sentence by San Remo Judge Paolo Luppi.^[4]
