Helena Arnell-Gezelius (1697 – 1 August 1751) 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. In 1720 she married Johannes Gezelius the Youngest [fi] – doctor of theology and bishop of Porvoo. They had a son named Johan Gezelius [fi] (later Olivecreutz).
After her husband died in 1733, Helena moved to Sauvo.
