Sofie Parelius (1823 - 1902) was a Norwegian stage actress. She was active at the Christiania Theatre in Oslo in 1860-99. She was known for her ability in comedy and viewed as one of the best Norwegian Ludvig Holberg-actor of her time. She belonged to the elite of the actors at the Christiania Theatre in the second half of the 19th-century, when Norwegian actors successively replaced the Danish on Norway's national stage.
