John William Ellison-Macartney (1818 – 13 February 1904),[1] born John William Ellison, was a barrister and Irish Conservative Party politician elected to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He narrowly lost that contest (by 3,103 votes to 3,139) to his sole opponent, the Conservative Henry W. Lowry-Corry (a nephew of the deceased MP); the Liberals had not fielded a candidate in Tyrone since 1852.
At the 1874 general election, Tyrone's two seats were contested by three Conservatives, and Ellison-Macartney topped the poll by a wide margin, unseating the sitting MP Lord Claud Hamilton.
Born John William Ellison, he changed the family surname to Ellison-Macartney by Royal Licence of 4 April 1859, following the death of his maternal uncle the Rev.
