Paula Maria Lindberg Lizell née Frödin (1873–1962) was a Swedish operatic soprano. She made her debut in 1893 at the Royal Swedish Opera as Mathilde in Rossini's William Tell, becoming one of the company's leading sopranos until she retired from the stage in 1911. After first appearing in coloratura roles, she sang in more dramatic works such as the Wagnerian operas where she appeared as Senta and Sieglinde. She later worked as a drama teacher for singers.
