The study examined the factors militating against the use of e-learning among chemistry education students in a tertiary institution in Benin City. Specifically, it investigated the influence of infrastructural challenges, students’ digital literacy skills, institutional support, perceived usefulness of e-learning, and lecturers’ attitudes and competencies on the adoption and utilization of e-learning in chemistry education. The study employed a descriptive survey research design, with a stratified random sample of 60 undergraduate students across all academic levels. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics through multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that poor internet connectivity, irregular power supply, limited access to ICT facilities, low digital literacy, inadequate institutional support, skepticism about the usefulness of e-learning, and lecturers’ reluctance or lack of competence collectively hindered the effective use of e-learning
