Mark William Ellis (born June 6, 1977 in Rapid City, South Dakota) is a second baseman for Major League Baseball's Oakland Athletics.

Ellis made his major-league debut in 2002, batting .272 in 98 games. He followed by hitting .248 the following season, but missed the entire 2004 season due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder resulting from a collision with shortstop Bobby Crosby in a spring training game against the Chicago Cubs. In 2005, he return to the Athletics and had a successful season, leading the team in batting average (.316), on base percentage (.384), and slugging percentage (.477) as the team's regular second baseman.

A ninth-round draft pick by the Kansas City Royals in the 1999 amateur draft, Ellis attended the University of Florida. He was acquired along with outfielder Johnny Damon and pitcher Cory Lidle in a three-team trade for outfielder Ben Grieve, shortstop Angel Berroa, and catcher A. J. Hinch.

Ellis has a career batting average of .257.
