Elwood is a village in Will County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,620 at the 2000 census.

Elwood was founded in 1854, and incorporated as a village in 1869. The completion of the Joliet-Bloomington railroad played a major role in the founding of Elwood. By 1900, Elwood remained a small farming community, with a population of about 400. In 1942, the federal government required land with which to train soldiers for World War II.

By 1970, Elwood had a population of about 750. In 1990, the city began to develop, and Elwood's population rose to nearly 1,423 people by 1996.
