Mary Ellen Childs (born April 13, 1957 in Lafayette, Indiana) is an American composer and multimedia artist and founder of the ensemble Crash.

Her music is chiefly for small instrumental groups, especially for percussion, string groups and solo piano, and it usually has an essential theatrical or visual dimension. Her collaboration with accordionist Guy Klucevsek led to several works for that instrument.

She is based in the twin city Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area.
