Elsabeth Ann "Ellie" Black ONS (born 8 September 1995) is a Canadian artistic gymnast. She is a three-time Olympian, having represented her country at the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympics Games. She is the 2017 World all-around silver medalist, making her the first Canadian gymnast to win a world all-around medal. Black is also the 2018 Commonwealth Games all-around champion, a two time Pan American Games all-around champion (2015, 2019), and a six-time Canadian national all-around champion (2013-2015, 2017-2019). At the 2016 Olympic Games, Black finished 5th in the individual all-around. At the 2020 Olympic Games, Black placed 4th in the balance beam final, the highest placement in the olympics for a Canadian gymnast.

In 2018 she was named one of the greatest 15 athletes in Nova Scotian history. In October, 2018, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, Arthur LeBlanc, announced that Black would be awarded the Order of Nova Scotia at a ceremony to be held on November 6, for her contribution as an ambassador for both gymnastics and the province stating "Ellie is an outstanding role model for her peers and young gymnasts, demonstrating a great work ethic and a graciousness in both victory and loss. Black takes time with her young fans, acknowledging their support and sharing her experiences". Black is only the second person under 25 to receive the Order of Nova Scotia, the first being hockey star Sidney Crosby. She is regarded as the most successful Canadian female gymnast of all time based on her numerous accomplishments on the world and Olympic stage.
