Thomas Edward Ellis (16 February 1859 – 5 April 1899), often known as T.
E.
Ellis or Tom Ellis, was a Welsh politician who was the leader of Cymru Fydd, a movement aimed at gaining home rule for Wales.
Ellis was, for a time, the most prominent of a generation of Liberal politicians who emerged in Wales after 1886, who placed greater emphasis than the previous generation to a Welsh dimension to their politics.
His early death in 1899 in his fortieth year added to the aura that surrounded his name.
