Timothy William Ellis (born 26 August 1953) is a retired British bishop of the Church of England.

Ordained in 1977 he began his career with a curacy in Manchester[9] at St John's Church, Old Trafford and was then successively Vicar at Pendleton; Vicar of St Leonard, Norwood, Sheffield; Rural Dean of Ecclesfield, also Canon of Sheffield Cathedral, and finally (before his ordination to the episcopate) Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey in the Diocese of Lincoln.
