Eliyahu Alfandari was a Constantinople Rabbi in the latter half of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. He came from a family of eastern rabbis prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries, in Smyrna, Constantinople and Jerusalem. The family originated from Andalusia, with variants of spelling such as Alfandery, Alfandaric and Alfandrec.

Alfandari published two works on matrimonial law: the work offered here: Seder Eliyahu Rabbah VeZutta (The Great and Small Order of Elijah) in 1719, and Michtav Me'Eliyahu (A Letter from Elijah) in 1723.
