Ely Place is a gated road in the London Borough of Camden in London, England (postal district EC1). It is named after the former London residence of the Bishops of Ely, known as Ely Place or Ely House, which stood on the site from around 1290 until 1772.

The road is located at 0°06'25" W 51°31'07" N.

St Etheldreda's Church in Ely Place is the former private chapel of the Bishops of Ely. The gardens of St Ethelreda were said to produce the finest strawberries in London and a 'Strawberry Fayre' is held here every June.

To the west are the Old Mitre Tavern and Hatton Garden, to the east is Farringdon Road and to the south is Holborn Circus. The nearest underground station is Farringdon to the north-east.
