Elton Flatley (born 7 May 1977 in Tamworth, New South Wales) is a former Australian international rugby union footballer. At his best position of fly-half, Flatley was often able to dictate the game by kicking tactically or throwing simple passes in order to retain possession.
Flatley tended to play internationally at centre. This is mainly due to Stephen Larkham holding the position of fly half. Indeed, he played at inside centre in the 2003 Rugby World Cup and looked as comfortable and composed as ever. The biggest test was his goal-kicking, which under high pressure was key in keeping Australia in the game until the very end. He played for the Queensland Reds.
