Lieutenant Colonel Neville Bowes Elliott-Cooper, VC, DSO, MC (22 January 1889 – 11 February 1918) was a British Army officer and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

In the years prior to the First World War he served with his regiment in such places as South Africa, Mauritius, and India.

Hearing that the enemy had broken through our outpost line, he rushed out of his dug-out, and on seeing them advancing across the open he mounted the parapet and dashed forward calling upon the Reserve Company and details of the Battalion Headquarters to follow.

Absolutely unarmed, he made straight for the advancing enemy, and under his direction our men forced them back 600 yards.

By his prompt and gallant leading he gained time for the reserves to move up and occupy the line of defence.He died of his wounds while a prisoner of war on 11 February 1918, aged twenty-nine, in Hannover, Germany.
