The Elton United Methodist Church is a historic church located at 803 2nd Street in Elton in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana.

Built in 1911, it is a wood frame Gothic Revival-style church, and is a rare example of that in the parish. It has a bell tower at its entrance. Its windows have muntins making simple patterns. Despite a largish addition to the rear in the 1950s or 1960s that detracts somewhat from the architectural character of the building, the church overall integrity remains intact. [2] [3]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1994. [1]
