The Eleme are one of the various groups of indigenous peoples that inhabit the Niger Delta region of southeast Nigeria.

The Eleme live in ten village-clusters situated in Eleme Local Government Area (ELGA), Rivers State, around 20 km east of Port Harcourt. The total territory occupied by the Eleme people expands across approximately 140 square kilometres.^{[citation needed]}

Linguistically and ethnographically the Eleme are closely related to the Ogoni people, and Eleme LGA is usually considered to be part of Ogoniland (the socio-political home of the Ogoni people. The Gokana people call God "Bari" while the Eleme people call God "Obari."^{[citation needed]} Eleme people are part of Ogoni even though some elites tend to separate Eleme from other Ogoni kingdoms. The name Ogoni was given to the people from Gokana, Eleme, Khana,and Tai local government areas by their neighbors such as Okrika and other Ijaw people. The meaning of "Ogoni" is "Stranger" in most Ijaw languages. Ogonis are strangers to their neighbors because their dialects are not similar to the any dialects spoken in the Niger Delta. The Ogoni Bills of Rights was not signed by any person from Eleme because of the autocratic leadership of late Chief Ngei, who saw the MOSOP as part of Nyime Eleme Association that revolted against his kingdom in the 1970s. A typical Eleme man knows that the founder of Eleme is from Lewe, Gokana kingdom and the entire neighbors of Ogoni know that Eleme is part of Ogoni.
