Elton Hall is a baronial hall in Elton, Cambridgeshire. It has been the ancestral home of the Proby family (sometime known as the Earls of Carysfort) since 1660.

The hall lies in an 3,800-acre (1,500 ha) estate through which the River Nene runs. The building incorporates 15th-, 17th-, 18th- and 19th-century parts and is a Grade I listed building.[1] The Victorian gardens were renovated in the 20th and 21st centuries and contain a knot garden, a rose garden and a Gothic orangery built to celebrate the Millennium.[2]
