Helena Arnell-Gezelius (1697 – 1 August 1751[1]) was one of the first painters in Finland (then part of Sweden).

She was the daughter of a Swedish nobleman Jonas Lauréntii Arnell and Helena Adlerberg.[2] In 1720 she married Johannes Gezelius the Youngest [fi] – doctor of theology and bishop of Porvoo.[2] They had a son named Johan Gezelius [fi] (later Olivecreutz).[3][4]

After her husband died in 1733,[3] Helena moved to Sauvo.[1]
