Karl Emil Ståhlberg (30 November 1862 – 27 June 1919) was a Finnish photographer and engineer.

On 3 April 1904, K. E. Ståhlberg opened Finland's first film theater called Världen Runt – Maailman Ympäri.

In 1907, Ståhlberg started a screenplay contest which eventually led to the creation of the first Finnish fictional film, Salaviinanpolttajat.

Ståhlberg also produced the film and hired his friend, the painter Louis Sparre to direct it.
