Elmo Russell Zumwalt, Jr. (ur. 29 listopada 1920 w San Francisco w stanie Kalifornia, zm. 2 stycznia 2000 w Durham w stanie Karolina Północna) – amerykański dowódca wojskowy, admirał United States Navy, Chief of Naval Operations (1970–1974).
Jako dowódca Marynarki Wojennej Stanów Zjednoczonych (ang. Chief of Naval Operations) zreformował Marynarkę poprawiając, między innymi, warunki bytowe załóg oraz likwidując przejawy dyskryminacji rasowej. W uznaniu jego zasług dla Stanów Zjednoczonych oraz US Navy w szczególności, na cześć admirała nazwano pierwszy niszczyciel rakietowy typu Zumwalt, a ślad za tym, cały typ okrętów.
Od 14 kwietnia 1970 do 1 lipca 1974 był najmłodszym w historii dowódcą Marynarki Wojennej Stanów Zjednoczonych.
Elmo Zumwalt został wyróżniony najwyższymi amerykańskimi i zagranicznymi medalami i odznaczeniami za służbę wojskową w szczególności w trakcie wojny wietnamskiej.
