Elin Gustavsdotter (or Gustafsdotter) was the daughter of the nobleman Gustav Algotsson (Sture). She was married to Erik Axelsson in September 1466 in a marriage alliance arranged to strengthen Axelsson's position and support within the Swedish nobility; the same year, he was elected regent by the Swedish nobility.
