Helga Amélie Lundahl, born 26 May 1850, was a Finnish painter.

She was born as the family's eleventh and youngest child and her mother Katarina Charlotta Lundahl née Cajanus died three months after birth. Lundahl's father, the city prosecutor Abraham Lundahl, died when Lundahl was two years old.
In 1870, Lundahl moved to Helsinki and began studying at the Finnish Art Association's drawing school. The following year she received a scholarship which enabled her to study art in Stockholm in 1872–1873.

In 1877 Lundahl travelled to France after receiving a government scholarship and remained there for twelve years. Her most famous works are from the time in France, especially those from Brittany. Lundahl also lived for a time in Sweden before she returned to Finland in 1889, where in the summer of that year she was active in the Önningeby colony on Åland, a Swedish-Finnish artist colony gathered around the painter Victor Westerholm. In Önningeby, Lundahl lived on the farm Övre Knapans together with Ellen Favorin, another Finnish artist.
