Charles Tottenham Loftus, 1st Marquess of Ely KP, PC (23 January 1738 –  22 March 1806) was an Irish peer and politician.

Born Charles Tottenham, he assumed the surname of Loftus in 1783, after inheriting the estates of his uncle Henry Loftus, 1st Earl of Ely. He represented Fethard (County Wexford) in the Irish House of Commons from 1776 to 1783. In the latter year, he stood as Member of Parliament for Wexford Borough, a seat held until 1785, when he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Loftus. He became Marquess of Ely on 29 December 1800 and was appointed a Knight of the Order of St Patrick on 12 December 1794.
