Elias E. Ramos (July 19, 1911 – October 23, 1972), popularly known as Ely Ramos, was a Filipino film actor who rose to fame before the outbreak of the Second World War. His name holds an important place in the history of Philippine cinema, as he starred in the inaugural films of both Sampaguita Pictures and LVN Pictures. Known for his striking good looks, stylish manner of dressing, and natural acting ability, Ramos quickly achieved stardom during the golden age of prewar Philippine cinema. Although his film career was interrupted by the war, he successfully returned to the screen afterward and maintained his commanding presence in various postwar productions. Later in life, an accident left him physically handicapped, requiring the use of a cane to walk, but his legacy as one of the pioneering matinee idols of Philippine cinema endured until his death in 1972.
