John Ellis (22 October 1930 – 27 May 2019) was a British Labour Party politician.

Ellis was educated at

Easthampstead Rural District
Council from 1962.

Ellis contested

Michael Brown by 486 votes (0.7%).[1] Ivor Crewe, Director of the British Election Study, attributed his defeat to the intervention of a Democratic Labour Party candidate, who polled over 2,000 votes, and thus "splintered enough of the Labour vote" to allow the Conservatives narrowly win the seat.[2]

Ellis was an assistant government whip from 1974 to 1976. He also served as a member of the Commons Expenditure Committee.[1]

He died in Scunthorpe in May 2019 at the age of 88.[3]
