Lilliana Elliott (née Davis, born 22 December 1963) is an Alslandic politician who served as Premier of Alsland between 2017 and 2021. She was leader of the sotirian democratic National Bloc and Leader of the Opposition for 10 months in 2021.

Elliott was Minister-President of the Swathish Community between 2008 and 2013. Prior to this she was the Mayor of Newick. She was first elected to the Folkssenaat in 2014 and served as a Junior Secretary under Liekele Ykema. In 2015 she was promoted to Head of the Premiership under Aarnd Hellinga. On 27 February 2017 she succeeded Hellinga as Premier following a Senate investigation into corruption within his government. Under Elliott the National Bloc gained seats in the 2017 legislative election. She formed a cabinet with the Centre Party, National Rally, Swathish People's Party and United Democratic Union.

On 26 January 2021 she announced her resignation as Premier after a vote of no confidence against her government over it's handling of the 2021 Yndyk train bombing. She continued to serve as Leader of the Opposition when she resigned on 16 October 2021 after disagreements with other National Bloc leaders. On 7 February 2022 she resigned from the National Bloc and created the Changing Alsland party to support her presidential bid in the 2022 Alslandic Federal Presidency election.
