布雷特·伊斯顿·埃利斯（Bret Easton Ellis，1964 年 3 月 7 日－）是美国作家、编剧、短篇小说作家和导演。埃利斯最初被视为所谓的文学小子之一，自称是讽刺作家，作为作家，他的标志性技巧是以无情的风格表达极端行为和观点。他的小说通常共享重复出现的角色。
埃利斯 21 岁时，出版了他的第一部小说，备受争议的畅销书《小于零》（1985 年）。他的第三部小说《美国精神病人》（1991）是他最成功的一部。在其发行后，文学界广泛谴责它过于暴力和厌恶女性。尽管许多禁止这本书的请愿看到埃利斯被西蒙和舒斯特放弃，但响亮的争议说服了阿尔弗雷德·A·克诺夫 (Alfred A. Knopf) 于当年晚些时候将其作为平装本发行。埃利斯的小说变得越来越元虚构。伪回忆录和鬼故事《月球公园》（2005）获得了正面评价。作为《小于零》的续集上市的《帝国卧室》（2010 年）继续沿用这一脉络。
埃利斯的四部作品已被拍成电影。 《小于零》于 1987 年被改编为同名电影，但这部电影与小说几乎没有相似之处。 Mary Harron 改编的 American Psycho 于 2000 年发行。Roger Avary 改编的 The Rules of Attraction 于 2002 年发行。The Informers 由 Ellis 合着并根据他的短篇小说集于 2008 年发行。Ellis 还撰写了2013年电影《峡谷》的剧本。

Set at a small, affluent liberal-arts college in New England at the height of the Reagan 80s, The Rules of Attraction is a startlingly funny, kaleidoscopic novel about three students with no plans for the future--or even the present--who become entangled in a curious romantic triangle. Bret Easton Ellis trains his incisive gaze on the kids at self-consciously bohemian Camden College and treats their sexual posturings and agonies with a mixture of acrid hilarity and compassion while exposing the moral vacuum at the center of their lives.Lauren changes boyfriends every time she changes majors and still pines for Victor who split for Europe months ago and she might or might not be writing anonymous love letter to ambivalent, hard-drinking Sean, a hopeless romantic who only has eyes for Lauren, even if he ends up in bed with half the campus, and Paul, Lauren's ex, forthrightly bisexual and whose passion masks a shrewd pragmatism. They waste time getting wasted, race from Thirsty Thursday Happy Hours to Dressed To Get Screwed parties to drinks at The Edge of the World or The Graveyard. The Rules of Attraction is a poignant, hilarious take on the death of romance.
