'''Elliott ALGOL''' is a [[compiler]] for the [[programming language]] [[ALGOL 60]], for the [[Elliott 803]] computer made by [[Elliott Brothers (computer company)|Elliott Brothers]] in the [[United Kingdom]]. It was implemented by [[Tony Hoare]] and others.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hoare |first=Charles Antony Richard |author-link=Tony Hoare |date=27 October 1980 |url=http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/courses/COP4610/hoare.pdf |title=The 1980 ACM Turing Award Lecture |place=Nashville, Tennessee |publisher=[[Association for Computing Machinery]] |via=Florida State University |access-date=2 May 2021}}</ref> It differed slightly from the reference version of [[ALGOL]], particularly in the supported character set.<ref>{{cite web |last=Baldwin |first=Tim |date=December 2013 |url=http://elliott803.sourceforge.net/docs/algol.html |title=Elliot 803: The ALGOL Compiler |access-date=2 May 2021}}</ref> First released in February 1962, it is believed to be the first implementation of an ALGOL 60 compiler in a commercial context and was an unexpectedly popular product for the company.<ref>{{cite book |last=Lavington |first=Simon |date=2011 |title=Moving Targets: Elliott-Automation and the Dawn of the Computer Age in Britain, 1947-67 |publisher=Springer |pages=283–287 |isbn=978-1848829329}}</ref>
