Elsa Mandelstamm Gidoni (March 12, 1901 – April 19, 1978) was a German-American architect and interior designer.
Gidoni was born Elsa Mandelstamm in Riga, Latvia, into the Lithuanian-Jewish family.
Her father Fayvush (Pavel) Mandelstamm was a physician.
She studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg from 1916 to 1917 and at the Technical University in Berlin in the mid-1920s.
She then operated her own interior design firm from 1929 to 1933.
In 1933, once Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, sweeping anti-Jewish legislation was passed, with the result that Jews unable to practice their profession.

She became a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1943.
With Kahn & Jacobs she was the lead architect on several significant commissions including the Universal Pictures Building at 445 Park Avenue in Manhattan, completed in 1947.
Praising its use of light and other structural features, architectural historian and critic, Lewis Mumford, called the 445 Park Avenue office building "technical milestone."
The Britannica Book of the Year 1947 included the building as among the five top architectural achievements of the year.
In 1960, she was one of 260 women in the AIA and only one of 12 working in New York.
Her older sister was violinist Margarita Mandelstamm Selinsky.
