Beth Medrash Elyon is a yeshiva in Spring Valley, New York. It was considered one of the elite yeshivas during the 1950s and 1960s. It closed sometime during the 1960s due to power struggles among the leaders of the yeshiva. Its Roshei Yeshiva included R' Reuven Grozovsky, R' Gedalia Schorr, and R' Yaacov Kamenetsky. Among its graduates are R' Yisroel Belsky, R' J.D. Bleich, R' Yosef Goldman, R' Nosson Scherman, R' Moshe Leib Rabinovich (current Munkatcher Rebbe), Professor Aaron Twerski, and R' Lipa Margolis. The two brothers, Rabbis Dovid Shustel and Shlomo Feivel Shustel learned there as well. Their father Rabbi Simcha Shustel was the Rosh Kollel.

The yeshiva reopened in the recent years. It is currently headed by R' Don Ungarisher, who is the son-in-law of R' Reuven Grozovsky.
