Elodie Lauten (b. 1950) is a composer described as postminimalist or a microtonalist. She is a former student of her father Errol Parker and of LaMonte Young, Dinu Ghezzo , and Akhmal Parwez .

Her music uses many different tunings and tuning systems including UMI (Universal Mode Improvisation), "a style created by Elodie Lauten combining key signatures and ethnic modes as a basis for tonal, polytonal or atonal improvisations," as well as equal temperament and just intonation. Some of her compositions are for an instrument called the "trine," a lyre-like instrument she designed.

She was a friend and collaborator with Allen Ginsberg.
