The abundance of calcium relative to hydrogen in soft X-ray-emitting solar flare plasmas is determined. Results were obtained for 25 flares. An average calcium-to-hydrogen abundance of about 5 x 10 exp -6, which is about a factor of 2 greater than measured for the photosphere, is found. This result is consistent with an enhancement of low first ionization elements in soft X-ray flare plasmas. For one flare, the calcium abundance was higher, at about 1.6 times the average results. It is inferred that the calcium abundance can vary among flares. Significant variations of the calcium abundance during the course of a flare were not detected.
