Major General Anders Karl Oskar Brännström (born 28 February 1957) is a retired Swedish Army officer.

[2] At the time of his birth, his father was a visiting professor at the Suomi College and Theological Seminary in Hancock, Michigan.

Brännström's time in the United States was brief as the family returned to Sweden four months after his birth, to Tärendö, where his father had been a vicar since 1951.

This day reports were received that thousands of Kosovo Albanians were on the verge of wiping out the village of Čaglavica, south of Pristina, with its 1,200 inhabitants.

Brännström decided to stop the attackers and within a few hours over 1,000 soldiers from the international peace force were in place to defend the village.

[3] Brännström's brigade, which included the Swedish contingent KS09, was the only unit whose conduct was subsequently approved of by external observers in the International Crisis Group.

On 1 June 2016 Brännström left the position as Chief of Army[9] due to the frustration of the lack of opportunities to do a good job.
