Papilio elwesi is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. The species is endemic to China and Vietnam.
Papilio elwesi (along with P. maraho) differs from all other Papilio species in the tail of the hindwing being so dilated that two veins are necessary to support it. Both these species form the Agehana subgenus.
The larvae feed on Apiaceae species.
