Elmar Tepp (30 April 1913 – 11 May 1943) was an Estonian footballer. He played in 16 matches for the Estonia national football team from 1937 to 1940.[2] He was also named in Estonia's squad for the Group 1 qualification tournament for the 1938 FIFA World Cup.[3]

Tepp was conscripted into the Red Army in 1941 and became a prisoner of war of the Germans during the Battle of Velikiye Luki along with teammates Heinrich Uukkivi and Richard Kuremaa. He was released in a later Soviet advance and subsequently sentenced to death by Soviet authorities, which was later commuted to a fifteen-year prison sentence. He died in prison in Kalinin, Russia in 1943.[1]
