Evelyn Ellis was an African American character actress of stage and film.

Towards the end of her career, Miss Ellis, as she was called, also directed a few theater plays. The Baltimore Afro American newspaper in its issue in October 26, 1929, described her as a “quiet and unassuming young lady with a very charming personality. An attractive woman who could have been a leading lady, she chose character roles.
