Elphinstone is a town in Victoria, Australia. The town sits at the junction of the former Calder Highway and the former Pyrenees Highway. Its local government area is the Shire of Mount Alexander. The town has a disused railway station on the Bendigo Line. At the 2006 Census, Elphinstone and the surrounding area had a population of 736.[1]

The town was originally called Sawpit Gully, but was renamed Elphinstone after Baron Mountstuart Elphinstone, Governor of Bombay and Madras during the Indian mutiny of 1857-59.[2]

Elphinstone Post Office opened on 1 February 1854. [3]

Cable and Wireless Optus built their first solar powered base station at Elphinstone in 2001. By making the mobile phone tower solar powered the company did not have to put expensive electrical power cables through the nearby state forest. The tower would improve reception in the Elphinstone area.[4]

Accused underworld figure, Tony Mokbel, spent two days hiding from the police in Elphinstone during October 2006. Two local people have been charged with perverting the course of justice and impeding the apprehension of a person.[5]
