Osborn Elliott (October 25, 1924 – September 28, 2008) was the editor of Newsweek magazine for sixteen years between 1961 and 1976. Elliott is credited with transforming Newsweek from a staid publication into a modern rival of Time.
Newsweek's circulation doubled to three million issues during Elliott's tenure as editor, which narrowed the gap with Time.
