'Ellison's Orange' is an English cultivar of domesticated apple, it is a cross between the 'Cox's Orange Pippin' and 'Cellini', which it resembles most in looks and taste, but can develop a distinct aniseed flavor in storage. The variety is much more disease-resistant than Cox's and therefore easier to cultivate.^[3]

This cultivar is named after its developer, C. C. Ellison, a priest from Lincolnshire, United Kingdom, who probably crossed it c. 1904.^[3]

Ellison's is a mid-season apple. The flesh texture is quite soft and much juicier than Cox's, more resembling the flesh of a pear.^[3] Easy to grow, but requires good drainage, since it is highly susceptible to apple canker.^[4]

It is considered an English classic apple and is considered in the first rank of quality apples.^[3] It earned the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993.^[3]
