Yelanets Raion ({{langx|uk|Єланецький район}}) was located in Mykolaiv Oblast of Ukraine. Its administrative center was the urban-type settlement of Yelanets. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Mykolaiv Oblast to four. The area of Yelanets Raion was merged into Voznesensk Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

History
In 1926, Yelanets Raion of Mykolaiv Okruha, with the administrative center in Yelanets, was established. The okruhas were directly subordinated to Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.{{cite web|url=http://sity.com.ua/Nikolaevskaya_oblast/elanetskiy_rayon/|title=Еланецкий район|publisher=Информация о городах и селах Украины|language=ru|access-date=12 March 2016}} In 1930, okruhas were abolished. In 1935, Yelanets Raion was transferred to Odessa Oblast.{{cite web|url=http://izvestiya.odessa.ua/ru/2013/02/26/stanovlenie-i-razvitie|title=Становление и развитие|publisher=Одесские известия|language=ru|access-date=12 March 2016}} On 22 September 1937, Mykolaiv Oblast was established on lands which previously belonged to Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa Oblasts, and Yelanets Raion became part of newly created Mykolaiv Oblast. In 1968, Yelanets was granted urban-type settlement status.{{cite web|url=http://history.mk.ua/rajony-rajony-nikolaevskoj-oblasti.htm|title=Районы Николаевской области|publisher=Николаевская область.
