Ellipse is the third studio album from Grammy Award-winning British singer-songwriter Imogen Heap.

The album got its name from the distinctive elliptical shape of the house. International release date was 24 August 2009. Subject matter in the songs includes post break-up malaise ("Wait It Out"), domestic boredom ("Little Bird"), body image issues ("Bad Body Double") and a common Heap theme, unrequited love ("Swoon" and "Half Life").
