Elvaston is a compact, rural parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, centred on a small village and surrounding farmland. The parish sits in the low-lying valley of the River Derwent, with rolling fields and woodlands that make it feel distinct from nearby urban areas while still being within easy reach of Derby.

Its best-known feature is Elvaston Castle Country Park, the grounds and Gothic-Revival house of the former local estate, which draws walkers, cyclists and families and gives the area a quiet tourism boost. Historically the seat of local gentry, the estate and village today combine agricultural and residential life with community activities and events centred on the park and village amenities, reflecting a mixture of conservation interest and everyday rural living.
