In this paper, we investigate the local ultraconvergence of <em>k em>-degree (k≥3) finite element methods for the second order elliptic boundary value problem with constant coefficients over a family of uniform rectangular/triangular meshes Th on a bounded rectangular domain <em>Dem>. The <em>k em>-degree finite element estimates are developed for the Green's function and its derivatives. They are employed to explore the relationship among dist(x,∂D), dist(x,M) and the ultraconvergence of <em>kem>-degree finite element methods at vertex <em>xem>, where <em>Mem> is the set of corners of <em>Dem>. Numerical examples are conducted to demonstrate our theoretical results.
