Herbert Elwell (May 10, 1898 – April 17, 1974) was an American composer and music critic. A native of Minneapolis, he was among the first Americans to study in France with Nadia Boulanger.

He began his studies in music at the University of Minnesota, and went on to work with Ernest Bloch prior to his sojourn in France. <a href="https://www
