Elijah James Crane (born January 3, 1980) is an American politician, businessman, and former United States Navy SEAL serving as the U.S. representative for Arizona's 2nd congressional district since 2023. A member of the Republican Party, Crane defeated Democratic incumbent Tom O'Halleran.
Before entering politics, Crane served in the United States Navy and co-founded Bottle Breacher, which he sold in 2022. The company, which attracted financial support on a 2014 episode of Shark Tank, produced patriotic themed bottle openers made from used bullets.
Crane won reelection in 2024 against Democratic nominee Jonathan Nez, the former Navajo Nation president.
