Caroline Ellis (born 12 October 1950) is a retired English actress. She is best known for her role in Only Fools and Horses as Michelle and her other roles in a 1968 TV adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes story The Boscombe Valley Mystery, Jill Rowles in the Southern TV adventure series Freewheelers in 1972, and a "Brummie" holiday camper (Glad) in the raunchy 1977 comedy film Confessions from a Holiday Camp.[1][2]

Ellis was best known to American audiences for her role as the character Joy in The Bugaloos (1970).[3]

Ellis is divorced and the mother of one daughter, Sasha, born in 1985. As of 2006, Ellis was no longer acting[3] but was working in real estate in Spain, where she lived with her daughter.[3]

A sampled excerpt of Ellis singing a line from the Bugaloos appears on "The Darkness That You Fear", a 2021 single from The Chemical Brothers.
