Ellen Trane Nørby (born 1 February 1980 in Herning) is a Danish politician, who is a member of the Folketing for the Venstre political party.

Jørgen Andreas Nørby, her father, is a biologist and secondary school teacher who served as municipal mayor of Lemvig between 1998 and 2006.

On 28 June 2015, she was appointed Minister for Children, Education and Equality in the Lars Løkke Rasmussen minority government formed that year.

[1] In Autumn 2012, as an opposition spokesperson, Ellen Trane Nørby submitted 696 parliamentary questions to Uffe Elbæk, the Minister for Culture and The Arts.

[7] A more negative press encounter came about in January 2013 when the BT journalist Lars Fogt reported the allegation that student supporters working for Nørby had made more than thirty changes to her Danish Wikipedia entry since March 2011.
