Elrundie is a suburb in the Northern Territory of Australia located in Darwin about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) east of Darwin City overlooking a part of Darwin Harbour known as the East Arm.[6][3][2]

Elrundie consists of land associated with a peninsula known as the Elrundie Peninsula and part of the channels of the following waterbodies that bound the peninsula's coastline: the Hudson Creek to the north-west, the Elizabeth River to the south-west and the Myrmidon Creek to the south-east.[1][10]

The name is derived from Elrundie Flat, a name which is considered to be of Aboriginal origin and which was first used in 1869 in a document prepared by A.J. Mitchell, a member of the Goyder expedition to the Northern Territory. The suburb's boundary and name were gazetted on 21 April 2004.[5][3][11]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Elrundie had no people living within its boundaries.[4]

Elrundie is located within the federal division of Solomon, the territory electoral division of Spillett and part of the unincorporated areas of the Northern Territory.[8][7][1]
