Ellie Crisell (born in County Durham) is an English journalist and television presenter working for the BBC. Crisell currently presents the BBC One 8pm news summary, and is a relief presenter on the BBC News Channel. She was formerly the main presenter of children's news bulletin program Newsround on CBBC and Newsround Extra.

Crisell attended Dame Allan's Girls School, Newcastle upon Tyne, before going on to the University of Birmingham, then achieving an MA in Broadcast Journalism at London's City University.

Crisell worked for the Mail on Sunday for a year, and a year on radio. She then worked for the ITV regional station, Tyne Tees Television, as a reporter and newsreader for North East Tonight. She is also the daughter of Professor Andrew Crisell, a noted media academic at the University of Sunderland and author of Understanding Radio.

Ellie Crisell started as a Newsround presenter in February 2003 shortly after previous chief anchor Becky Jago's departure. Notable stories which Ellie was personally involved in reporting included the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake in which she travelled to Indonesia to see in person the effects of the disaster. She also travelled to Athens in Greece to give daily reports on the 2004 Summer Olympics. In addition to serious reports, she also presented more light-hearted stories, including a report on the Harry Potter-inspired rise of magic in the UK that ended with her being sawn in half by a magician in an illusion called Clearly Impossible. Ellie has not presented Newsround since returning from maternity leave, and her profile has been taken off the show's website. Her final appearance was saying a farewell message to Lizo Mzimba whilst on maternity leave.
