Ella Eronen (29 January 1900 — 9 October 1987) was a Finnish actor and poetic reciter, and one of the country's leading actresses of the 20th century, especially of the 1930s through to 1950s. She was variously known as Diiva ('The Diva'), La Ella and Ella Suuri ('Ella the Great'). The noted Finnish theatre and film critic Jukka Kajava called her "possibly Finland's most legendary theatre actor".
