Eloise is een hitsingle van de Britse zanger Barry Ryan, geschreven door zijn broer Paul, een melodramatisch en orkestraal nummer dat vier weken op nummer één in de Nederlandse Top 40 en in totaal wereldwijd meer dan zeven miljoen keer over de toonbank gaat. In Zwitserland was het de bestverkochte single van 1969.

"Eloise" is a song first released in 1968 on the MGM label. It was sung by Barry Ryan, and written by his twin brother Paul Ryan. Running for over five minutes, it features strong orchestration, melodramatic vocals, and a brief slow interlude. It sold three million copies worldwide, and reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart as published by Record Retailer, but hit No. 1 in the NME and Melody Maker charts. It topped the chart in 17 countries, including Italy, the Netherlands and Australia.

The single was released as "Barry Ryan with the Majority". The Majority were a pop band who, for a period, were the backing band for Ryan and who, after renaming to Majority One, had some success in Europe. Ryan also released an Italian-language version of the song, "Eloise (Versione Italiana)", in 1968.
