Ulla Katajavuori (16 June 1909, Rauma – 5 October 2001 Helsinki) was a Finnish musician who played the traditional Scandinavian kantele, performing from the 1930s to the 1990s.One of her recordings is the Karelian folk song Konevitsan kirkonkellot.
Katajavuori played the modern, multi-stringed version of the kantele, and was considered a virtuoso and maintainer of the tradition, especially during the 1960s when the instrument was of low popularity, and 5-string player Martti Pokela was one of the few other recognised musicians playing the instrument.
