Dear Eloise (simplified Chinese: 亲爱的艾洛伊丝; pinyin: Qīn'ài de ài luò yī sī) is a Chinese rock band comprised of vocalist/producer Yang Haisong (杨海崧) and Sun Xia (孙霞).

Formed in Beijing in 2008, the pair are known for their lo-fi DIY recordings that combine elements of shoegaze, indie pop, noise rock and experimental music. In addition to playing all of the instruments themselves, the husband-wife duo record and edit all of the band's music in their home studio.

While they do not perform live[1] and have released their recordings inconspicuously through the Beijing-based vinyl label Genjing Records [2][3][4], the duo has managed to gain a loyal following in both the Chinese independent music scene[5] and with critics abroad.[6]
