Elk Bend is an unincorporated community in Lemhi County, Idaho.

Elk Bend was originally established in the mid-1960s as a collection of real estate development projects.

While land was purchased and held on to for years, most development of the community didn't occur until the early 2000s, when residents who had previously bought land in the area reached retirement age and built houses and manufactured homes to retire to.

Elk Bend is loosely organized around its local volunteer fire department, and as such, locals use their designated fire unit numbers over the real estate development codes for their communities.
