Eliott's Battery was an artillery battery in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, classified as part of the Fortifications of Gibraltar. The site lies at Europa Flats, associated with Europa Point, positioned in front of the Officer's Barracks. It is located between two other defensive positions, Prince George's Battery and Woodford's Battery, forming part of a line of fortifications in that area. The battery takes its name from George Augustus Eliott, 1st Baron Heathfield, who served as Governor of Gibraltar from 1777 to 1790. The installation is recorded as having been built by the UK Ministry of Defence. While originally constructed as a military position, its present condition is described as mostly built over, indicating that much of the former battery structure has been covered or incorporated into later development. Despite this, the site is noted as being open to the public, allowing visitors access to the location of the former battery within Gibraltar. Eliott's Battery is documented in studies of Gibraltar's defensive works and appears on historic plans showing naval and military establishments, bastions, batteries and other defence works on the Rock.
