Elias Woodworth, Jr., (born May 13, 1819) was a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly during the first session (1848).[2] He was a Democrat.

Woodworth's father, also named Elias Woodworth, was born in Cayuga County, New York, and was a pioneer settler of Salem, Wisconsin.[3] The Woodworths are direct descendants of Walter Woodworth, one of the original Plymouth Colony settlers.[4]

Elias, Jr., married Helen Van Wie and had at least seven children. Sometime after his term in the Assembly, he and his family relocated to Medford, Minnesota.[4]
