Elkinsville Cemetery, founded approximately 1830, is a small rural cemetery located in Van Buren Township, Brown County, Indiana, near the former community of Elkinsville, Indiana. Through eminent domain, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acquired most of the town's land in 1964 as a flood plain for nearby Lake Monroe Reservoir. The cemetery, which lays above the flood plain, remains to memorialize many of the community's residents.

In 1992, volunteers, associated with the former community, constructed a shelter at the cemetery. The cemetery also has a bulletin board with historical information.
