David Thomson Ellis (10 April 1869 – 29 January 1940) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre-forward and made one appearance for the Scotland national team.
[2] Ellis played for Mossend Swifts in the early 1890s,[2] but also featured in a friendly match for Heart of Midlothian on 1 March 1890.
[4] Ellis also featured for Celtic as a guest player in a friendly against Nottingham Forest on 4 April 1892.
[5] Ellis earned his first and only cap for Scotland on 19 March 1892 in the 1891–92 British Home Championship against Ireland in Belfast.
As a result, some sources erroneously attributed the national team cap against Ireland to James.
