Vivian Raphael Eli (born 13 July 1938) is a former Dominican cricketer who played for the Windward Islands in West Indian domestic cricket. A right-arm pace bowler, he was the first Dominican to play first-class cricket.

In December 1959, aged 21, Eli was selected to represent the Windward Islands against England, in what was the team's inaugural first-class match. The only Dominican selected for the match, he scored no runs and took no wickets, bowling third behind Frank Mason and Theo Redhead in each innings.[1] Eli never again played at first-class level.[2]
