Elizondo is a town located in the province and autonomous community of Navarre, northern Spain. It is located on both banks of the Baztan River.

The Baztan valley has a recorded history dating back at least to the year 1025. During the War of the Pyrenees in late July 1794, the Battle of the Baztan Valley took place in the area. In 1813, British General William Stewart located his headquarters in Elizondo during the Battle of the Pyrenees.
