Elli Alexiou (sometimes Ellē; c. 1894– 1986) was a Greek author, playwright and journalist.[1][2]

The daughter of a printer and publisher, Alexiou was born in Heraklion, Crete.[1] She taught French in a high school,[2] and was politically active, joining the Communist Party in 1928 and working with the National Liberation Front resistance during World War II.[1] After the war, she received a scholarship from the French government and studied in Paris.[1] She was stripped of Greek citizenship in 1950, living as an exile until it was restored in 1965.[1]

Alexiou wrote short stories and novels about her experience as a school teacher and her life as a political exile in Hungary and Romania.[1] Her sister Galatea was the first wife of novelist Nikos Kazantzakis.[1][2]
