Elk Horn is an unincorporated community in Taylor County, Kentucky, United States. It lies along Route 76 southeast of the city of Campbellsville, the county seat of Taylor County.[1] Its elevation is 735 feet (224 m).[2] It has a post office with the ZIP code 42733.[3]

A post office in the community was established in 1876. The origins of the name Elk Horn are unclear: it may be named for a large collection of elk horns displayed at the local mill, or for a pair of antlers found in the area and thought to be unusual.[4] R.S & Amanda Tate was granted 2000 acres to set up a homestead in the early 1700s; at that time, it was still a part of Greensburg KY.
