Brady Ellison, born on 27 October 1988, is an American recurve archer who came up through compound shooting as a child in Arizona before switching to recurve on the advice of coaches at the national training center in Chula Vista, California. He held the record for the longest unbroken spell as the men's recurve world number one, from August 2011 to April 2013, and earned the nickname The Prospector at the 2015 world championships for his habit of finding gold. He has competed at five Summer Olympics from 2008 to 2024, taking team silver in 2012 and 2016, individual bronze in 2016, mixed team bronze in 2024 and individual silver in 2024, when he lost the final on a tiebreaker to Kim Woo-jin by a few millimetres.
