Johan August Lindberg (3 September 1846 – 18 November 1916) was a Swedish actor, stage director and theatre manager.

He moved to Stockholm and first work at the Blå porten restaurant and cafe in Djurgården.

After graduation, Lindberg was employed by the traveling theater company operated by Carl Otto Lindmark (1830-1901).

His acting was characterized by his strange diction and his eccentric ways, and he was often mimicked, but in spite of this was considered one of the country's foremost actors.

As a theatre manager he was among the first to introduce the plays of Henrik Ibsen in Sweden, and with his one-man interpretations of plays such as Shakespeare's The Tempest and Goethe's Faust, he toured Sweden and the United States.
