Elihu Yale (5 April 1649 – 8 July 1721) was a British-American colonial administrator and philanthropist. He served as President of the British East India Company settlement in Fort St. George, at Madras. He is best remembered as the primary benefactor of Yale College (now Yale University), which was named in his honor. His fortune, as of 1699, amounted to £200,000.
