Lena Söderberg, née Sjööblom (born 31 March 1951) is a Swedish model who appeared as a Playmate in the November 1972 issue of Playboy magazine,[1] as Lenna Sjööblom. Her centerfold was photographed by Dwight Hooker.

A section of her centerfold (known as Lenna) is often used to test algorithms in digital image processing.[2] She was a guest at the 50th annual Conference of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology in 1997, where she gave a presentation about herself.[3] Because of the ubiquity of her Playboy photo scan, she has been called the "first lady of the internet".[4][5] The title was given to her by Jeff Seideman in a press release he issued announcing her appearance at the 50th annual IS&T Conference.

Söderberg is married and has three children.
