Eleven, presumably born as Jane Ives, also known as El and 011, is a fictional character from the Netflix series Stranger Things. Portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown, she is a girl with psychokinetic abilities and a limited vocabulary.

Eleven is presumed to be the daughter of Terry Ives, a participant in the Project MKUltra experiments conducted by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. Eleven was abducted from a young age from her mother by Dr. Martin Brenner and was raised in the Hawkins National Laboratory in Hawkins, Indiana as a test subject to develop her psychokinetic skills. When she was placed in a sensory deprivation tank she can engage in astral projection and access other dimensions, primarily for the purposes of international espionage. However, she encountered the monster and on the evening of November 6th, 1983, Eleven finally made contact with the creature. However, a gate opened up between the Hawkins Laboratory and The Upside Down dimension and the monster entered the human world. She then escaped and attempted to steal from Benny Hammond's fast food restaurant but an agent from Hawkins Lab posing as a social service worker shot Benny and Eleven fled the diner. She was then found by Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair and Dustin Henderson who were looking for their missing friend, Will Byers.

Eleven helps to locate Will using her supernatural abilities, and determines that he is trapped in a dimension known as the Upside Down. However, the use of her abilities temporarily weakens her and gives her nosebleeds. The group sets out to find Will using their compasses, but Eleven interferes with their search when she realizes that they are being led towards the laboratory. Lucas becomes angry at her, having distrusted her from the beginning, and she uses her abilities to violently throw him. She flees, steals boxes of frozen waffles from a store, and consumes them in a forest. When Mike and Dustin are threatened by bullies, Eleven returns and saves them.

Mike, Dustin, and Eleven reunite with Lucas and make amends, and they travel to their middle school with Dr. Brenner and his associates in close pursuit. During a chase, Eleven uses her powers to cause a laboratory van to flip through the air. The group, aided by Joyce Byers, Chief Jim Hopper, Nancy Wheeler, and Jonathan Byers, produce a makeshift isolation tank with a pool and bags of salt. Eleven accesses the Upside Down and confirms that Will is alive. As laboratory personnel close in on the school, Eleven and Mike share a kiss. Eleven helps them escape by using her powers to kill most of the agents. The monster from the Upside Down makes its way into their dimension, and Eleven seemingly sacrifices herself to destroy the creature and save her friends.
