March 14, 2023

Larimar Therapeutics, Inc.

Three Bala Plaza East, Suite 506

Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004

Re: <u>Securities Being Registered under Registration Statement on Form S-8</u>

We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on or about the date hereof relating to an aggregate of 1,703,895 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of Larimar Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), that may be issued pursuant to the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinion set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company.

The opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that no event occurs that causes the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Company to be less than the number of then unissued Shares.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

This opinion letter and the opinion it contains shall be interpreted in accordance with the Core Opinion Principles as published in 74 *Business Lawyer* 815 (Summer 2019).

We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

(1) Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this
Registration Statement on Form S-8 shall also cover an indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Larimar Therapeutics, Inc. (the
"Registrant") issuable under the Larimar Therapeutics, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") by reason of any future stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt
of consideration by the Registrant, which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(2) Represents shares of Common Stock that were added to the shares authorized for issuance under the Plan on
January 1, 2023, pursuant to an "evergreen" provision contained in the Plan. Pursuant to such provision in the Plan, as of the first day of each fiscal year, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the
Plan shall automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) 4.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such smaller number of
shares of Common Stock as determined by the Registrant's Board of Directors. Shares available for issuance under the Plan were previously registered on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2020
(Registration No. 333-249287).

(3) Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating
the registration fee on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Global Market on March 13, 2023.
