David James Elliott ist ein kanadischer Schauspieler. Er wuchs in seinem Geburtsort Milton auf, verbrachte aber viel Zeit auf den Bahamas bei Verwandten seines Vaters, der von dort nach Kanada umgesiedelt war. Als Jugendlicher begeisterte sich David James Elliott für Rockmusik. Er war Frontmann einer Band und verließ in seinem Abschlussjahr die Highschool, um seinen Traum von einer Musikkarriere zu verfolgen. Da sich der erhoffte Erfolg nicht einstellte, kehrt Elliott im Alter von 19 Jahren an die High School zurück und machte seinen Abschluss. Dort wurde er von einem Lehrer auf sein schauspielerisches Talent hingewiesen. Anschließend besuchte er die Ryerson University in Toronto. Nach einem Vorsprechen für das Stratford Shakespearean Festival in Stratford (Ontario), wurde er Mitglied in dessen Young Company (Junger Truppe), wo er die folgenden zwei Jahre arbeitete. Seine erste größere Rolle hat Elliott in der Anwaltsserie Street Legal. 1990 zog Elliott nach Los Angeles, wo er den Künstlernamen David James Elliott annahm, da zu diesem Zeitpunkt in der Schauspielergewerkschaft bereits ein David Smith registriert war.
