Ellipse Animation (formerly known as Le Studio Ellipse, Ellipse Programme and Ellipsanime) is a French animation studio that produces television programs. It was founded in 1987.
In February 2000 it merged with Expand SA; Expand sold the company to Dargaud in 2003, and it became Ellipsanime in 2004. In 2014, Ellipsanime bought the assets of Moonscoop SA.

Ellipse has worked with many other animation companies, with one good example being the Canadian animation firm Nelvana Limited. Their early collaboration goes back to the television animated adaptation of the My Pet Monster franchise in 1987. The first official collaboration was in 1989 following the release of Nelvana and Ellipse's co-production, the Babar Movie in 1989. They then worked on the Babar animated series in 2000. Nelvana has since co-produced on Ellipse's series from 1991 to 1996. Such examples during the era from the company would be Babar, The Adventures of Tintin and Blazing Dragons.

On the occasion of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2022, the Media-Participations group announces the creation of an umbrella brand Ellipse Animation which brings together its production labels in France Ellipsanime Productions, Dargaud Media and Dupuis Edition & Audiovisual.
