Duke Ellington, pseudonimo di Edward Kennedy Ellington (Washington, 29 aprile 1899 – New York, 24 maggio 1974), è stato un direttore d'orchestra, compositore e pianista statunitense. Duke Ellington è considerato uno dei massimi compositori del '900, oltre le etichette di genere; grande è stata e rimane la sua influenza su generazioni di jazzisti: dalle orchestre bianche di Woody Herman e Charlie Barnet a Thelonious Monk e Charles Mingus, e poi le avanguardie più underground di Sun Ra e Archie Shepp. Grande è il debito nei confronti del duca anche da parte dell'esule africano Dollar Brand, Muhal Richard Abrams e di Anthony Davis.
