姚元之，字伯昂，安徽桐城人。嘉庆十年进士，选庶吉士，授编修，典陕甘乡试。入直南书房。给事中花杰劾戴衢亨、英和援引，诏元之文字本佳，斥杰诋讦，寻亦罢元之入直。十七年，大考一等，擢侍讲。复以武英殿刊刻圣训有误，仍降编修。十九年，督河南学政，疏禁坊刻类典等书以杜剿袭；又密陈河南与安徽、湖北交界地多捻匪，陈州、汝宁盐运迥殊，土匪把持：并嘉纳之。累迁内阁学士。
道光十三年，授工部侍郎。疏陈台湾营务积弊，窝娼聚赌，械斗杀人，操演雇人替代，诏下闽督严察整顿。调户部，又调刑部。迭典顺天、江西乡试。督浙江学政，未满，十八年，擢左都御史，召回京。寻以南昌知府张寅为江西巡抚裕泰劾罢，元之为寅疏辩，胪陈政绩，请查办，诏斥冒昧，降二级调用。二十一年，海防方亟，疏陈广东形势，豫筹战守，下靖逆将军奕山等采行。授内阁学士。二十三年，京察，以年衰休致。
元之学於族祖鼐，文章尔雅，书画并工。习於掌故，馆阁推为祭酒。爱士好事，穆彰阿素重之。后以论洋务不合，乃被黜。咸丰二年，卒。
