Chiwetel Ejiofor, född 10 juli 1977 i Forest Gate i Newham i London, är en brittisk skådespelare.

Ejiofor har nominerats till en Golden Globe fem gånger: två gånger 2007 för sina rollprestationer i Tsunamin: Efter vågen och Kinky Boots, en gång 2010 för rollen som Thabo Mbeki i Kampen om Sydafrika och två gånger 2014 för Dancing on the Edge och 12 Years a Slave. Vid Oscarsgalan 2014 nominerades han i kategorin Bästa manliga huvudroll för sin roll i som Solomon Northup i 12 Years a Slave, men han förlorade mot Matthew McConaughey för huvudrollen i Dallas Buyers Club.

Regissören Jon Favreau blev imponerad av Ejiofors roll som Baron Mordo i superhjältefilmen Doctor Strange, särskilt under delen när Baron Mordo blir mer skurkaktig, att Favreau gav Ejiofor röstrollen som skurken Scar i nyinspelningen av den tecknade Disneyklassikern Lejonkungen.
