Elliot Valentin Cadeau (born September 4, 2004) is an American-Swedish college basketball player for the Michigan Wolverines of the Big Ten Conference. He previously played for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Cadeau was born in the United States, but represents Sweden internationally.

Cadeau was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in West Orange, New Jersey. His father, James, is Haitian while his mother, Michelle, is Swedish, hailing from Skåne. As a child he loved football and was a fan of the New York Jets, but he was discouraged from playing the sport because his mother thought it was too dangerous, and suggested he try out for a basketball team instead. He also played baseball, soccer and tennis, but decided to focus on basketball in fifth grade.

Cadeau attended The Patrick School in Hillside, New Jersey, for seventh and eighth grade. During this time he helped his club team, Sports U/Team IZOD, win the 2019 Under Armour Nationals.

Cadeau began his high school career at Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, New Jersey. He served as the Crusaders' starting point guard during his freshman season, which was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cadeau averaged 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, leading his team to a 7–2 record. He was named to the MaxPreps Freshman All-American First Team. Cadeau missed his entire sophomore season due to a high ankle sprain he suffered during a scrimmage against Gill St. Bernard's School in December 2021. He transferred to Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, ahead of his junior year.

Cadeau played AAU basketball for the New Heights Lightning on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) circuit. He was named to the EYBL All-Underclassman team in 2021, and earned All-EYBL Third Team honors in 2022.

Before his reclassification, Cadeau was widely regarded as the top point guard in the class of 2024. Even after reclassifying to the 2023 class, he was a unanimous five-star recruit.

In September 2022, Cadeau took his first official visit to Texas Tech, which he described as his dream school growing up. This was followed by a visit to North Carolina the following month. On December 28, 2022, Cadeau committed to coach Hubert Davis of North Carolina.

He made his reclassification official on May 30, 2023, after weeks of speculation, in part due to his stellar play in the GEICO Nationals and on the EYBL circuit.
