Elisha Edward Light (1 September 1873 — 12 March 1952) was an English first-class cricketer.

Light was born at Winchester in September 1873. He first played for Hampshire in second-class county cricket in 1893 and 1894.[1] After a gap of four years, in which time Hampshire had regained their first-class status, Light trialled for Hampshire in a minor match in May 1898. In this, he took ten wickets in the match.[2] This performance earned Light his first-class debut for Hampshire a few days later against Yorkshire at Southampton in the County Championship, with him playing first-class cricket until 1900, making thirteen appearances for Hampshire.[3] Light took 5 wickets with his slow left-arm orthodox bowling in his thirteen first-class matches, at an average of 53.60 and with best figures of 2 for 22.[4] As a lower order batsman, he scored 168 runs at a batting average of 10.50, with a highest score 35.[5] He later played minor counties cricket in Wales for Carmarthenshire, making three appearances in the 1908 Minor Counties Championship.[6] Light died at Llanelli in March 1952. His brother, William, was also a first-class cricketer.
