'''House Elariel''' is a [[Noble]] Great House of the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb1|9}}
Members include [[Shan Elariel]], a Mistborn from [[Luthadel]]. Shan was once engaged to [[Elend Venture]]. House Elariel also had the services of at least one other Mistborn, who may or may not have been a member of the family.
One of the balls that [[Vin]] went to in her time infiltrating the upper class was held at [[Keep Elariel]].
It could be that House Elariel has done this sort of thing before. Multiple times in later books, Vin refers to certain Houses being "cousins" of House Elariel (including [[Patresen]], [[Habren]], and [[Seeris]]). This could, indicate that Elariel was once part of a larger family that split apart, that Elariel often recruits allies through marriage, or some combination of the two.
On the night the Lord Ruler was killed, House Elariel was the second most powerful house in the city.<ref>The Final Empire, Ch 32, Pg 446. </ref> Because [[Straff Venture]] fled the city, and Elend defected to the rebellion, it could be argued that when Elariel was defeated by the skaa rebellion,<ref> The Final Empire, Ch 37, Pg 508.</ref> it had become the most powerful remaining Great House, a notable achievement.
It is unknown if any Elariels survived the fall of the Final Empire, or if any survivors made it through the subsequent wars or the string of natural disasters caused by Ruin. Unlike House Tekiel, House Elariel has not been mentioned in the Wax and Wayne Era novels.
