The Elfenstein ("elf stone") is a lava stone from Iceland. It was brought to the Hafnarfjördur-Platz square in Cuxhaven (Lower Saxony/Germany) in 2014.

The ancient belief that elves and trolls live in lava rocks is still widespread in Iceland today. Hafnarfjördur donated two lava stones to its sister city Cuxhaven. One is situated in the Schlosspark and the other one on the Hafnarfjördur-Platz.
