Elder Place in a street in Fremantle, Western Australia that primarily runs between the north-west ends of Parry Street and Queen Street, south-west of the Fremantle railway line. At the north-eastern end Elder Place becomes Beach Street; at the south-western end it becomes Phillimore Street. A small cul de sac, also called Elder Place, but not connected to the main street, runs off Phillimore Street, in the direction of Market Street.
