Shane Ellis (born 27 September 1960) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the West Coast Eagles in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and East Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

Ellis won East Fremantle's 'Fairest and Best' award in 1982^[1] and twice played in losing Grand Finals with the WAFL club, in 1984 and 1986. The year in between, Ellis had spent with Essendon but hadn't been able to break into the seniors.

He represented Western Australia at interstate football on five occasions between 1982 and 1986.
