Jane Elizabeth Ellison (born 15 August 1964) is a British Conservative Party politician, who was elected at the 2010 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Battersea. On 7 May 2015, she won re election, by increasing her margin by 3.4%.
Ellison was born in Bradford, attending St. Joseph's Catholic College, Bradford, then a girls' grammar school, and studied PPE at St Hilda's College, Oxford. After university, she worked at the John Lewis Partnership, where she held many positions up until her election to the House of Commons some 23 years later.
A former Barnet London Borough Councillor, she contested the Barnsley East by-election, 1996 and the Tottenham by-election, 2000, in both cases finishing in third place, and contested Barnsley East and Mexborough in 1997 and Pendle in the 2005 general election. Although she halved the majority of sitting MP Gordon Prentice from just over 4,000 to 2,180, Labour held on to the seat for another five years until 2010.
