Ellaisa Marquis (born 1 February 1991) is a Saint Lucian footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Saint Lucia women's national team, and has led the team as captain for many years. In 2019, Saint Lucia Star called her Saint Lucia's "marquis player" in women's football.[2][3] Marquis was awarded the Senior Female Footballer of the Year for 2015 by the St Lucia Football Association (SLFA).[4]

Her most recent international competitions have included the 2020 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship qualification,[5] and the 2019 Windward Island Senior Women's Tournament, during which she scored the winning goals against St Vincent and the Grenadines, and against Dominica.[6] Since returning from the United States, where she played for the MidAmerica Nazarene Pioneers,[7] Marquis has served as captain of the Dennery senior women's football team, and was named Most Valuable Player in the 2018 SLFA club championship tournament, when Dennery successfully defended the title.[8] She was shortlisted for the National Sports Awards "Sportswoman of the Year" in 2019.[9]
