Craig Ellis (born 4 June 1975 in Stawell, Victoria) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Football career

He was drafted by North Melbourne as a 15-year-old in the 1990 AFL Draft, but only played for their Under-19 team. He was drafted again in the 1993 Pre-season Draft by Footscray from the Western Jets and debuted for them in 1994. Early injuries hampered his career but he drastically improved during the 1997 season where he took many saving marks at centre half-back.

In 2002, Ellis moved for one season to the Melbourne Football Club, in which he had a solid year, playing 14 consecutive games, but decided to retire at the end of the season.

Post-football career

Today, Ellis is the owner/designer of clothing label St Lenny, located in Prahran Victoria.
