Elliott Estill Dent (December 8, 1887 in Baltimore, Maryland – November 25, 1974 in Birmingham, Alabama) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball. He pitched from 1909–1912 for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He won a total of only four games as a major league pitcher -- but was the winning pitcher over all-time wins leader Cy Young in Young's very last major league game, on October 6, 1911.
