Otto Emanuel Andersson (27 April 1879 – 27 December 1969) was a Finnish musicologist.

From 1926 on, he held the Robert Mattsons chair in musicology and folklore at the Åbo Akademi.

In 1906, he formed the Brage Society,[1] dedicated to Finland's Swedish folk music and culture, serving later as the group's chairman and choirmaster.
