Elbert Dijkgraaf (born 6 January 1970 in Almelo) is a Dutch economist and politician.

As a member of the Reformed Political Party (Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij) he was an MP from 17 June 2010 until 10 April 2018, when he stepped down for reasons of a familial nature. He focuses on matters of financial, economic and social affairs, infrastructure, natural environment, education and culture.

From 1999 to 2003, Dijkgraaf was chairperson of the Reformed Political Party Youth (SGP-Jongeren).

Dijkgraaf studied economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam and is a member of the Reformed Congregations. He formerly was advisor of the Noaber Foundation, the family office of Paul Baan.

In 2018 he stepped down as MP, citing tensions in his marriage. After a divorce, he entered into a relationship with Tamara van Ark, who is a politician and current Minister for Medical Care for the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy.
