The Elf (Electric Low Floor) is an electric multiple unit developed by Polish rolling-stock manufacturer Pesa SA. It is intended for commuter and regional service where platform height is 55 cm (22 in). It is based on earlier EMU designs named ED59 and ED74. A Pesa Elf was exhibited at InnoTrans 2010.

In 2016 a new version, Elf 2, was introduced, featuring new design. In 2019, Elf.eu (a multisystem version targeting EU markets) was introduced.
