Michael James Ellis (born 29 September 1946) is a retired South African politician and educator, who served as Deputy Chief Whip of the opposition Democratic Alliance in 1999-2011, and as the party's provincial leader in KwaZulu-Natal between 2006 and 2009.
In 1976 he took up a post as deputy headmaster at Penzance Primary School, and after spending two years as deputy headmaster at Kingsway High School, returned to Penzance to become the school's headmaster.
In 1984 he returned to another of his former schools, Beachwood, as head teacher.
He was also appointed President of the Natal Teachers' Society.
Ellis is one of the party's longest serving Parliamentarians, having first entered parliament as a candidate of the pro-Democracy Progressive Federal Party in 1987.
Prior to that he was President of the Natal Teachers' Society, and served as headmaster and deputy headmaster at several KwaZulu-Natal schools.
Ellis was born in Pietermaritzburg, and attended Northlands Boys High School and the University of Natal.
He graduated with a BA in History and Political Science, and also obtained a University Education Diploma.
He later also obtained a B.Ed degree.
Upon graduating, Ellis worked as a teacher at Beachwood High School, which later became Northwood School.
In 1987 Ellis left teaching to enter a career in politics.
He won a seat in the House of Assembly in the Durban North constituency, under the banner of the Progressive Federal Party, and then won the seat again in 1989 under the party's new name, the Democratic Party.
