Emil Lawrence Sodersten (30 August 1899 – 14 December 1961) was an Australian architect active in the second quarter of the 20th century.

[4] The Australian Institute of Architects presents the Emil Sodersten Interior Architecture Award annually in his honour.

In 1915, Sodersten was articled in architecture to Ross & Rowe and in the ensuing five years studied at Sydney Technical College.

[citation needed] The only entry within budget was by John Crust and so the two architects were commissioned to work together on an amended design.

During World War II, Sodersten served with the Royal Australian Air Force in Papua and New Guinea and Queensland as a flight lieutenant.
