Clara Lachmann (née Meyer; 10 April 1864 – 10 August 1920) was a Danish and Swedish patron of the arts. After coming into immense wealth following her marriage to one of the richest men in Sweden, Lachmann became a prominent sponsor of musical events, building restorations, and new constructions. Additionally, she dedicated a significant portion of money in her will to the establishment of the Clara Lachmann Foundation, which promotes Scandinavism through culture and the arts.
