'''Elma Charlotta Ström''' (3 April 1822, Bro-14 July 1889, Stockholm), was a Swedish opera singer.
Elma Ström was born in Bro in Uppland as the daughter of a farmer, and was raised in the home of a relative, the parish vicar Ekström on Mörkö.
Ekström socialized with the local aristocracy and Elma Ström entertained his guests with singing. She attracted attention for her ability as a singer, and it was suggested that she perform for an expert. In 1836, she was accepted as a student in the operatic class of the ''[[Dramatens elevskola]]'' after having demonstrated her ability as a singer to [[Isak Albert Berg]]. She was lodged in the pension of Kristina Fundin, mother of [[Wilhelmina Fundin]], and friend of her fellow student [[Jenny Lind]]. One anecdote is mentioned, when Elma Ström and Jenny Lind left the Fundin's, from which the students where normally not allowed to leave without permission, to travel around the whole city in a carriage.
Elma Ström made her debut at the Royal Swedish Opera in 1841, was contracted in 1843, and engaged at the Royal Opera in 1843-1851. She was described as a beautiful singer with a great soprano, but her career was short. Because she was regarded as the perhaps most promising talent after the departure of [[Henriette Widerberg]] and [[Jenny Lind]], great pressure was put upon her by the management to replace them, expectations which was placed upon her before her voice was fully trained, which resulted in her voice being cracked of the pressure and her career ending before she had the full chance to develop it.
[[Oscar Wijkander]] composed a sonnet dedicated to her (1892).
