Sam Ellis (born April 30, 1955) is a Republican former member of the North Carolina General Assembly who represented the state's thirty-ninth House district, including constituents in Wake County. An electrical contractor from Raleigh, Ellis was defeated by Democrat Linda Coleman in the 2004 general election.[1][2]

In 2002, incoming freshmen at the University of North Carolina were required to read "Approaching the Qur’an: The Early Revelations" by Michael Sells, a scholar of comparative religions at Haverford College. When they arrived on campus, they were to briefly discuss the book in small groups led by a member of the faculty. Ellis backed a campaign to remove the use of state funds from the book, stating "I don't want the students in the university system required to study this evil."[3][4]
