Elitegroup Computer Systems (or ECS) is a Taiwan-based electronics firm. It is among the largest PC motherboard manufacturers in the world, with production reaching 24 million units in 2002. Many these motherboards have been produced for OEM customers and are used in systems assembled and sold by such brand-name companies as IBM and Compaq. ECS has a reputation for making low-cost and reliable motherboards, but with mediocre performance. Its main competitor used to be Micro-Star International.

The company has since concentrated on broadening its product range. The company is now also making its mark in the design and manufacture of notebooks, Desknotes, portable desktop computer systems and multimedia products.

Founded in 1987, ECS is headquartered in Taiwan with operations in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. In June 2003, ECS was selected for two years in a row for Business Week Magazine's exclusive Information Technology 100 list.
