Elias Palairet (1713–1765) was a Dutch minister and classical scholar, who spent his later life in England.
After studying at Leyden he took Protestant holy orders, and became successively preacher at Aardenburg (1741), Doornik (1749), and Tournai.
His abilities attracted the notice of Bishop John Egerton, who made him his chaplain.
[1] Palairet died in Marylebone on 2 January 1765; he left all his property to his wife Margaret.
His annotations on the treatises of Xenophon the Ephesian were printed in Petrus Hofman Peerlkamp's edition (Haarlem, 1818).
