Claes Ingvar Eriksson (born 27 July 1950) is a Swedish director, screenwriter, revue artist, comedian, actor and composer.

In 1974 he founded the group Utan lots ("Without pilot"), where future revue colleague Kerstin Granlund was a member.

In September 1982 they merged with the singing group After Shave and have since then made several revues, TV series and movies together, which Claes Eriksson has participated in and with few exceptions, written and directed.

He has a fondness for the "little" man who fights against authority and power users and has described himself as "an old-school social democrat, a reformist socialist".

[2] His work has often been in the style of Povel Ramel and Tage Danielsson playing with the Swedish language in a clever and humorous way.
