Elephant's Graveyard is a special collection of B-sides and rarities from singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt. The collection was made available as a digital download only in the UK, and as a hard-to-find promo only 2-CD set in the US (released by Astralwerks Records). The collection spans roughly 5 years of music, some of which had been previously unreleased.

Ed also posted a track-by-track discussion of the collection on his website.
