Elsie Carlisle (January 28, 1896 - 1977) was a popular English female singer.

Originally from Manchester, Elsie became extremely popular during the 1920s and 30s, recording with many of the big dance bands of the time, as well as solo. She recorded very little after the beginning of the Second World War, and retired from the entertainment industry after about 1946. Her business involvements included interests in ballroom dancing venues in south London, a company manufacturing bar accessories, a pub in central London and a Hotel/pub in Berkshire. She lived from 1939 until her death in November 1977 in her house in Mayfair in Central London.
