George Samuel Elgood (1851–1943) was an English artist and illustrator who became well known for his paintings of formal gardens.

Elgood became known mainly as a painter of historic gardens, travelling throughout England, France, Spain and Italy in the course of his professional life. Many of his pictures were used to illustrate Some English Gardens (1904) by the famous garden designer Gertrude Jekyll and Italian Gardens (1907) which Elgood wrote himself. See less
