Stephen John Ellis (született: 1950. április 7.) angol rock/pop énekes. Legnagyobb sikerét a Love Affair együttessel aratta az 1960-as évek végén.

1972-ben megalapította az Ellis együttest, rövid életű partnerségben Zoot Money billentyűssel. További tagok: az ex-Peter Bardens Band gitárosa Andy Gee az ex-Fat Mattress basszusgitárosa Jimmy Leverton akit később Nick South váltott és Dave Lutton dobos. A csapat két albumot adott ki, a Riding on the Crest of a Slump-ot 1972-ben, és a Why Not?-ot a következő évben. 1976-ban az egyik legnépszerűbb szerb és ex-jugoszláv zenekar, a Smak feldolgozta "El Doomo" című dalát "El dumo" címmel, és nagy sikert ért el vele.
