Elsa Garmann Andersen (21 November 1891 – 12 September 1964), sometimes referred to as Elsa Garmann-Anderssen, was a Norwegian amateur photographer active in Bergen's Camera Club in the late 1920s.

She was a qualified architect from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology but never practiced her profession, probably due to health problems.

[1][2] Andersen's range of subjects was landscape, portrait, architecture, street photography, and still life.

She had an uncle who was a district doctor in Lofthus, and she lived in his house every summer.

[2] The camera clubs had their own aesthetics where they drew inspiration from the art of painting, and left parts of the image blurred and diffused.
