Anton Elbel (6 January 1834 – 3 October 1912) was an Austrian engineer and locomotive designer.
Anton Elbel was born in Vienna on 6 January 1834 and attended the Polytechnic Institute there. In 1856 he started work for the Carinthian Railway (Kärntner Bahn). When this was absorbed by the Austrian Southern Railway, or Südbahn, he transferred with it and worked in the Südbahn design office in Vienna from 1860 to 1867.
