Esse Willem Ljungh (August 3, 1904 - February 9, 1991) was a Canadian radio producer, most noted as the longtime head of radio drama for CBC Radio.

Born in Malmö, Sweden, he emigrated to Canada in 1927. He initially settled in Radville, Saskatchewan as a farmer, but after losing his farm during the Great Depression, he moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he worked as editor of a Swedish-language newspaper.

He was one of the winners of ACTRA's John Drainie Award in 1968. He was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and was named a member of the Order of Canada in 1981.
