Nisim Elmaliah (Hebrew: ניסים אלמליח; November 11, 1928 – October 24, 1989) was an Israeli footballer who played mainly in the uniform of Beitar Tel Aviv.

Among his achievements, he won the award of the top scorer in the 1954–55 season after scoring 30 goals in 26 games for Beitar Tel Aviv, a record that held until April 11, 2016, when Eran Zahavi broke it.

Elmaliah is remembered by a beret that he put on his head at the beginning of his professional career, a relic of his religious and observant.

Elmaliah ability as an outstanding offensive footballer brought teams from all over Israel to pursue him and try to convince him to play their dimensions.

Maccabi Petah Tikva also offered him a share of Egged if he would play in its ranks but Elmaliah remained loyal to Beitar Tel Aviv.
