Sven Sømme (1904–1961) was a Norwegian zoologist and ichthyologist.
He was born in Ringsaker to physician Jacob Dybwad Sømme and Helene Sofie Sørensen. He was a brother of zoologist Iacob Dybwad Sømme, and his sister Ingerid was married to ship owner Sigval Bergesen the Younger. He chaired the fisheries school at Aukra in 1940, and served as fisheries inspector from 1946 to 1952. He published works on fish biology, salmon migration and entomology. During the German occupation of Norway he was active in the clandestine intelligence organization XU. After being caught by the Germans while photographing near a submarine base on Otrøya, he managed to escape from the guards, fled to Sweden and eventually arrived in the United Kingdom.
