The Elks Club was a historic clubhouse building located at Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia. It was designed by noted Ohio architect Frank L. Packard and built in 1915. It was a four-story, three-bay by six-bay wide, red brick building with terra cotta trim in the Classical Revival style. The first two stories were faced in smooth dressed stone, and feature arched apertures, with central consoles. It was occupied by the Parkersburg Lodge #198, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.)

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The building was by the Parkersburg News & Sentinel and demolished in 2005. It is now used as a parking lot.
