John Adel Elya (16 September 1928 – 19 July 2019) was a bishop of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church.

After completing his philosophical and theological studies, Elya was ordained a priest on 17 February 1952.

He later obtained a licentiate in theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University and taught moral theology and philosophy in the Monastery of Saint Savior in Lebanon and served as rector of the seminary of Saint Basil in Methuen, Massachusetts.

Elya went on to serve as a parish priest in Zerka, Jordan.

He also served as the pastor of churches in Manchester, New Hampshire, Toronto, Ontario, and Lawrence, Massachusetts, and as rector of the Annunciation Melkite Catholic Cathedral in Roslindale, Massachusetts.

While a priest in the United States he earned a master's degree from Boston College.
