An elasticity detection probe. The elasticity detection probe comprises a probe body (1) and a control switch (3) that controls on/off of the probe body (1). The probe body (1) and the control switch (3) are arranged separately and the probe body (1) and the control switch (3) are electrically connected or wirelessly connected. Due to the separate arrangement of the probe body (1) and the control switch (3) an operator can use the portion except two hands to operate the control switch (3) to turn on/off the probe body (1) and therefore the offset generated when the control switch (3) is turned on of the probe body (1) is prevented and the detection precision is improved.
