Elena Ramos is a fictional character and one of the primary female leads in the primetime soap opera Dallas on the TNT network, an updated version of the original series of the same name that aired on CBS from 1978 to 1991. Elena is portrayed by actress Jordana Brewster, and has appeared on the show since its pilot episode, which first aired on June 13, 2012. Dallas follows the trials and tribulations of the wealthy Ewing oil family living in Dallas, Texas.

On January 29, 2011, Jordana Brewster was the first non-original cast member to sign on for the series continuation. Nellie Andreeva described the role: "The project — written by Cynthia Cidre and Warner Horizon — centres on feuding cousins John Ross Ewing III and Christopher Ewing, the offspring of brothers J.R. and Bobby Ewing, respectively, as they clash over the future of the Ewing dynasty. Brewster will play Elena, the daughter of the ranch’s cook, who is locked in a love triangle with Christopher and John". On February 1, 2011, it was announced that actor Josh Henderson had signed on to play Elena's love interest, John Ross Ewing III.

When asked about both her character and the show, Brewster said: "You know, I'm on the third season now of the original Dallas. It's just so much fun to watch. When I saw our pilot, I got so emotional when the theme song came on. It's like you're a part of something so iconic. I just hope the fans of the original series like watching the new generation interact with Bobby and J.R. Ewing and Sue Ellen. It's kind of like what happens with Fast and the Furious, you get to pick up where characters left off and you get to see them evolve. There is still family drama playing out, there are those who still care about money more than anything and those who care about the family more than anything. There are those age-old themes that are so much fun to watch play out. I'm in a love triangle between John Ross Jr. (Josh Henderson) and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe). I grew up with the boys on the ranch, so I'm very familiar with their antics. It's a really fun, juicy role to play. I'm also an engineer."
