Charles Allan Ellis (1909-1984) was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 1930s.

Allan Ellis was born in Marrickville, New South Wales in 1909 and joined the Newtown Jets club, playing six first grade seasons with the club between 1935-1940. He also captained the club in his final seasons. He is the brother of two other Newtown legends; Keith Ellis and Tom Ellis.[1] As his brothers did before him, Allan coached the lower grades at Newtown for many years, including winning a third grade premiership in 1943. He later coached the first grade team between 1962-1965. His son, Greg Ellis, also played first grade with the Newtown in the 1950s and 1960s.[2]

Allan Ellis died on 23 September 1984, aged 75.
