The Elm is a hill range north of the Harz mountains in the Helmstedt and Wolfenbüttel districts of Lower Saxony, Germany. It has a length of about 25km (15.5mi) and a width of 3-8km (2-5mi) and rises to an elevation of 323 meters. Surrounded by the Northern European Lowlands, the Elm is almost uninhabited and the largest beech forest in Northern Germany. The hills are made of triassic limestone, called "Elmkalkstein". Together with the neighbouring "Lappwald" range, the Elm since 1977 is a protected area.

Rivers originating in the Elm include:

* Altenau
* Lutter
* Missaue
* Scheppau
* Schunter
* Wabe
