Julie Ellis (February 21, 1919 – February 15, 2006) was an early lesbian pulp fiction author of the 1960s, writing pro-lesbian romance and erotica under varied pseudonyms for Midwood-Tower Publications. She changed her writing pseudonyms and legal name usage numerous times (Julie Marvin, Marilyn Marvin, et al.) and later in life she wrote historical and romance fiction under the name Julie Ellis.
