Olivia (Liva) Järnefelt née Edström (18 March 1876 – 24 June 1971) was a Swedish mezzo-soprano who specialized in opera.
In 1897, after appearing at the Royal Swedish Opera as the Third Boy in Mozart's The Magic Flute and making her actual debut as Pantalis in Boito's Mefistofele, she remained with the company until 1926.
