Elvanfoot is a small village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Elvanfoot is located at the confluence of the River Clyde and Elvan Water.[1] The Clyde is crossed by a pedestrian suspension bridge that has been closed since 2007 for want of repair.[2] The unused church is on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland,[3] as are the stables of Newton House, once home to the Scottish judge Alexander Irving, Lord Newton.[4][5]
