Erik August Skogsbergh (30 June 1850 – 31 October 1939) was a Swedish American Mission Friends revival preacher and lyricist.
From the age of fourteen to eighteen he was a clerk and traveling salesman for his father's nail factory in Skyberg, Älgå parish.
In 1869 he experienced a religious crisis and the following year spent a semester at the Swedish Mission Covenant school in Kristinehamn.
[4] The Minneapolis Tribune described Skogsbergh, stating "Though unheralded and almost unknown, he has created an interest among the people of his own nationality unparalleled in this community".
In 1884 he moved to Minneapolis, where he founded a school the same year to teach new Swedish emigrants English and business skills as well as biblical knowledge.
[9] A new church, the Swedish Mission Tabernacle, was built on his initiative in 1887 after he raised the money in three weeks traveling on horseback in the winter.
