Elmar Arro (2 August 1899 – 14 December 1985) was a music historian. Born in Riga in a German-speaking family, he studied musicology in Berlin and Vienna. He settled in Tartu in Estonia in 1928 and began a career studying the history of Eastern European music. In 1939 he was forced to leave Estonia for Germany, as part of the German–Soviet population transfers. In 1941 during World War II he was drafted into the Wehrmacht, and was later taken prisoner by Soviet troops. In 1955 he was released and settled in Germany, where he pursued his research on Eastern European music. After his retirement he settled in Vienna, where he died in 1985.
