Major Robert Ellyson (c. 1615/20–1671) was a legislator, lawyer, military officer, and physician who served as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses representing the electoral constituency of James City County from 1655 to 1656 and from 1660 to 1665.
An emigrant from Scotland to Maryland, Ellyson was selected sheriff of St. Mary's County, investigated the Richard Ingle uprising, and served as a physician in Kent County. By 1646, he had moved to York County, Virginia and began practicing law. In 1655, he was elected a burgess for James City County and appointed a justice of Gloucester County in 1657. An officer in the Virginia militia, accepted various local positions and was re-elected as a burgess in subsequent sessions. By the 1660s, he had patented hundreds of acres on the Virginia Peninsula. Ellyson died about 1671 in James City County.
