Elyakhin (Hebrew: אֶלְיָכִין) is a local council (town) in the Sharon region of the Central District of Israel.

Located just south of Hadera and bordering the Emek Hefer Regional Council, it is accessible by local road 5812.

The adjacent villages in the regional council are Herev Le'et, Hibat Tzion and Givat Haim (Ihud).
