Ellery Eskelin (born August 16, 1959) American tenor saxophonist. Born in Wichita, Kansas, raised in Baltimore, Maryland from the age of two. His parents, Rodd Keith and Bobbie Lee, were also musicians. Rodd Keith died in 1974 in Los Angeles, California and became a cult figure after his death in the little known field of "song-poem" music. Organist Bobbie Lee performed in local nighclubs in Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1960's.

Eskelin has resided in New York City since 1983. He has led touring ensembles in Europe, Canada and the United States and has released numerous recordings since the late 1980s. He has garnered significant critical praise for his work with the group he formed in 1994 featuring keyboardist Andrea Parkins and drummer Jim Black.
