Elm Mott is an unincorporated community in McLennan County, Texas, United States. It is located near the intersection of Interstate 35 and Farm to Market Road 308, eight miles north of Waco.

The community was known as Geneva until residents applied for a post office in 1872; since there was already a Geneva, Texas, the name Elm Mott was chosen for a nearby elm grove. When the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad laid track from Hillsboro to Taylor in the early 1880s, it passed through Elm Mott, spurring its growth. The community reached it's maximum population of 300 by 1914. The community experienced a gradual decline in population in the post-depression era; it's population in the 1970s was reported at 190, and has remained stable since then.

The Elm Mott Independent School District was combined with the Lakeview Independent School District in 1951 to form the Connally Consolidated Independent School District.
