Ellen Osiier (August 13, 1890 – September 6, 1962) was a Danish foil fencer.
The 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris was the first Olympic Games to feature women's fencing. Osiier, then 33, won the gold medal as she was undefeated in the event. With this victory, Osiier became the Olympics' first woman fencing champion.
