Esmaeil Elmkhah ({{langx|fa|اسماعیل علم‌خواه}}, 30 December 1936 – 1988) was an Iranian featherweight weightlifter. In 1958 he won a silver medal at the Asian Games and set four unofficial world records: one in the snatch, one in the press and two in the total. He later won a bronze medal at the 1960 Olympics.

Elmkhah was born in Rasht, but grew up in Tehran. He had a sister, and lost his parents when he was a child.
