Ellys Manor House (pronounced "Ellis"), or the Old Rectory is a late-fifteenth to early sixteenth century manor house in Great Ponton, Lincolnshire, England. It was built by Anthony Ellys (or Ellis), a wool merchant, and member of the Staple of Calais, who also built the tower of the village church.

The house is of arch braced queen post type, and has stepped gable ends, and is best known for the wall paintings in the upper rooms, which Nikolaus Pevsner describes as "a rare English interpretation of French verdure".

The house is privately owned but the house and garden are open to the public at certain times; it is a member of the Historic Houses Association.

The house, with its wall and gate piers, is grade II* listed.
