Elm Street Court is a bungalow court located on Elm Street in Urbana, Champaign County, Illinois.

The court, built in 1926, consists of eight Spanish Colonial Revival style bungalows arranged around a central courtyard. While the houses have similar styles and floor plans, they also all have key differences, such as the shape of their parapet walls and the color and style of their stucco exteriors.

A 10-foot (3.0 m) tall concrete gate with Craftsman details marks the entrance to the courtyard, and a concrete birdbath sits in the center of the garden courtyard.

The bungalow court was a popular housing style in California and Florida during the 1920s, but the Elm Street Court is one of the few examples of the style in the Midwest.

The court was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2000.
