Renee Louise Ellmers (née Jacisin; born February 9, 1964) is an American registered nurse and politician who was the U.S. representative for North Carolina's 2nd congressional district from 2011 to 2017. She is a member of the Republican Party. Ellmers defeated seven-term Democratic incumbent Bob Etheridge in 2010 by 1,489 votes, confirmed after a recount. In the 2016 Republican primary, Ellmers was defeated by fellow U.S. Representative George Holding.

In 2020, Ellmers sought election as Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.
