Sir Howard Warburton Elphinstone, 3rd Baronet (26 July 1830[1] or 1831,[2] Westminster – 3 January 1917, Wimbledon Park) was an English baronet and legal academic.

He was the eldest son of Sir Howard Elphinstone, 2nd Baronet,[1] and educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took a scholarship.[2] In his thirties, he was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn, later becoming a lecturer for the Law Society and then the Professor of Real Property Law to the Inns of Court.

On 4 August 1860 he married Constance Mary Alexander Hankey, third daughter of John Alexander Hankey.[1] They had six sons and five daughters. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his grandson, Howard Graham Elphinstone, the son of Graham Warburton Elphinstone, the 3rd baronet's second son.[1] One of his younger sons was Sir Lancelot Elphinstone.
