Elaine Paige geboren Elaine Mary Bickerstaff (Barnet, 5 maart 1948) is een Engelse musicalster die hoofdrollen heeft gespeeld in de musicals van Andrew Lloyd Webber. Zij speelde onder andere Grizabella in Cats en Evita in de originele West End productie van Evita. In de musical Chess van Tim Rice met de ABBA-muzikanten Björn Ulvaeus en Benny Andersson vertolkte ze de rol van Florence. In 1982 scoorde ze in de Nederlandse Top 40 een hit met de single "If You Don't Want My Love", mede geschreven door Phil Spector. De single I Know Him So Well, een duet met Barbara Dickson uit Chess haalde internationaal de hitlijsten, wat ze ook realiseerde met Memory uit Cats. Don't Cry For Me Argentina van Evita werd in de studioversie niet door haar, maar wel door Julie Covington ingezongen. Het werd later nog vele malen gecoverd, onder meer door Madonna toen deze in de musical aantrad.
