Tuve Martin Hugo Skånberg von Beetzen (born 9 April 1956) is a Swedish Christian Democratic politician, member of the Swedish Riksdag from 1991 to 2006 and again from 2010 to 2022. Skånberg is Doctor of Theology of Lund University (2003) and a minister of the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden (1980). He was President by age from 1 January 2020 until he left parliament on 26 September 2022.

Skånberg has a conservative Christian Democratic political profile. Among his more than 500 bills to the Swedish Riksdag, some have been considered controversial, as Riksdag bills against gay marriage and homosexual adoption, for the banning of blasphemy and for "nondiscrimination" of creationism in Swedish schools and in admission to graduate school.

Skånberg has been a visiting fellow at Cambridge University (2001), a visiting scholar at Jesus College, Cambridge (2001), a distinguished professor in history at Graduate Theological Union (2006), a visiting scholar at Stanford University (2006), an adjunct associate professor of church history at Fuller Theological Seminary (2006/2007, 2010), a guest professor in patristic at Saint Petersburg Evangelical Academy (2007), and director of the Clapham Institute (2008).
