Abstract: Motivated by applications to problems from physics, we study elliptic operators with operator-valued coefficients acting on Banach-space-valued distributions. After giving a definition of ellipticity, normal ellipticity in particular, generalizing the classical concepts, we show that normally elliptic operators are negative generators of analytic semigroups on $L_p(\mathbb R^n,E)$ for $1\leq p<\infty$, and on $BUC(\mathbb R^n,E)$ and $C_0(\mathbb R^n,E)$, as well as on all Besov spaces of $E$-valued distributions on $\mathbb R^n$, where $E$ is any Banach space. This is true under minimal regularity assumptions for the coefficients, thanks to a point-wise multiplier theorem for $E$-valued distributions proven in the appendix.
