Elijah, Missouri is an unincorporated community in eastern Ozark County, Missouri, United States.[2] It is about twenty-two miles west of West Plains on Missouri Supplemental Route V just one mile south of U.S. Route 160. The community is located on North Bridges Creek with Spoon Spring within the village.[1]

The community was named after Elijah Harden, the son of an early settler.[3] A post office was established in 1905 and was closed in 1977.[4] The post office had a ZIP code of 65642, but mail service is now provided by the post office in Caulfield.
