Craig Ellwood (born Jon Nelson Burke; April 22, 1922 – May 30, 1992) was an American architect whose career spanned the early 1950s through the mid-1970s in Los Angeles.

Although untrained as an architect, he fashioned an influential persona and career through a talent for good design, self-promotion, and ambition.

He was recognized professionally for fusing of the formalism of Mies van der Rohe with the informal style of California modernists.

It continued through the mid-1970s, with several notable projects, including the master plan for the Rand Corporation's headquarters in Santa Monica, California, a number of Xerox and IBM offices, and the trademark "bridge building" dramatically spanning an arroyo and a roadway at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

have sought to re-credit this building solely to Tyler, who had worked for John Sugden (a former associate of Mies) and was the architect of the Art Center addition, completed in 1991.

The practice closed in 1977 and Ellwood retired to Italy to focus on painting and on restoring a farm house near Ambra [it].
