Carl Gunnar Feilberg (1894–1972) was a Danish geographer, ethnographer and explorer of Asia.
His father was Henning Frederik Feilberg (1865 - 1940) and his mother Anny Caroline Louise Olsen (1867 - 1934).
By the help of the Danish company, Kampsax, Feilberg travelled in 1935 to Iran, where he carried out ethnographical fieldwork in Bala Geriveh among the Papi tribe in Southern Luristan in Iran from the end of March to the end of July.
[4] Feilberg, funded by the Carlsberg Foundation, stayed with KAMPSAX engineers (in Bala Gariveh, southern Luristan) who had been contracted during the mid-1930s to build the Trans-Iranian railway.
He made collections of ethnographic materials and took many pictures of people, working and relaxing; of tents and winter dwellings; of tools, rugs, carpets, and other domestic equipment; of animals; and of weddings and musical instruments.
