The Elois are sapient species depicted in H. G. Wells' much-popularized 1895 novel, The Time Machine. They are the dominant, if not only, humanoid race in the surface of England, and possibly the whole Earth, by the year 802,701 AD. They are the first species the Time Traveler, the protagonist of the novel, interacted with in that century. The Time Traveler theorizes that the Elois are one of the two descendants of Homo sapiens. In the Time Traveler's stay in the 8,028th century, he falls in love with an Eloi named Weena.
