Carl Hårleman (23 June 1886 – 20 August 1948) was a Swedish gymnast and track and field athlete who competed in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics.

Career

At the 1908 Olympic Games he was part of the Swedish gymnastics team that won the all-around gold medal. Four years later in 1912, he finished twelfth in the pole vault competition at his home Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden.

The following year, he finished second behind fellow Swede Clas Gille in the pole jump event at the British 1913 AAA Championships.

In 1917, he won the Swedish pole vault title and set a national record that stood until 1921.

Hårleman was born into a noble family. He worked in insurance, served in the Swedish Army, reached the rank of captain, and acted as secretary-general of several sports associations.
