Elephant Song is a 1991 novel by Wilbur Smith.^[1]^[2] Publishers Weekly stated said the novel contained "some romance, more sex, lots of bloody fighting and international intrigues, all carried out by deftly directed larger-than-life cardboard characters, will surely please Smith's fans and other action-addicted readers."^[3]

It was the third highest selling novel in England in 1992.^[4]
