Elsie Gunborg Johansson (born 1 May 1931) is a Swedish writer.

Elsie Johansson was born in Vendel as the fifth child of a statare.

Owing to the persuasion of a female teacher, Johansson was allowed to attend realskola in Uppsala, from which she graduated in 1948; upon graduation, she found employment as a postal worker.

Johansson would work at the post office for another 30 years, before making her literary debut with the poetry collection Brorsan hade en vevgrammofon, at the age of 48.

In addition to her poems and novels intended for adult readers, she has written a number of books for children and adolescents.
