Elmhurst is a neighbourhood in north Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. It occupies the area to the north and south of Elmhurst Road, now a section of the town's ring road.

Elmhurst is mainly residential, and has a very small shopping area on Dunsham Lane and another next to the Buckingham Road roundabout. Most of the housing consists of terraced council housing and blocks of low-rise flats.

Elmhurst has two state schools, The Elmhurst School, on Dunsham Lane situated next to the Alfred Rose Park, and St Louis Catholic Combined School located on the edge of the estate near Bierton Road.

Year 5 - Children which are 9-10 years old. Year 6 - Children which are 10-11 years old.) and the first letter of the teacher's surname who teaches that class e.g. Year 3 + Mr Smith = Class "3S".
