Sir Abraham Elton, 2nd Baronet (baptised 30 June 1679 – 20 October 1742) of Bristol and Clevedon Court, Somerset, was a British merchant, slave trader and Whig politician, who sat in the House of Commons for Taunton between 1724 and 1727, and then for Bristol from 1727 until his death in 1742.

[2] He was the Master of the Society of Merchant Venturers in 1719 and Mayor of Bristol from 1719 to 1720, but in 1720 he was made bankrupt during the "South Sea Bubble".

[3] As soon as he completed his term as Mayor, he left Bristol and travelled to France, and did not return until his father paid off his debts.

[5] Elton returned to England by 1724, and stood in the Taunton by-election of 1724 for the Whigs, as an unexpected late entrant.

In February 1730 he spoke against the Royal African Company's petition to be spared the cost of maintaining their forts.

The baronetage passed to his eldest son, who became Sir Abraham Elton, 3rd Baronet but died without issue.
