"Ella, elle l'a" (French for "Ella, she has it") is a single released by France Gall. It was released as a single from her album Babacar, on 24 August 1987, and became a hit in Europe.

Written by Michel Berger, this song is a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. The song "swings between sheared rhythms of the bass and flashed brass". The song is also available on the CD maxi for "Évidemment", released on March 1988.

The song achieved great success in many European countries in 1987 and 1988, reaching number one in Austria and Germany in the latter year. In France, the single was certified Silver disc by the SNEP, peaking at #2. It remained on the chart (Top 50) for 19 weeks, from 24 October 1987, and nine weeks in the top ten.

Kate Ryan's version of "Ella, elle l'a" is the third single of her album Free. It was released on 6 May 2008 in Belgium and on 9 May 2008 in the rest of Europe as a CD single. It had already topped number one on the Spanish Download Chart, and number seven on the Belgian Singles Chart. It also reached the top ten in Germany. It had entered the Swedish Singles Chart at number twelve, peaking at number two. In the Netherlands, Ella Elle L'a also peaked at number two.
