Edvin Leonard Bergroth (26 December 1836 – 29 March 1917) was a Finnish engineer, businessman and vuorineuvos.

[1][3] Bergroth worked for the Royal Prussian Mint in Hannover until 1861, and, upon returning to Finland, for a short time for the Finnish State Railways.

[2] In the same year, Bergroth was appointed Technical Manager of Helsinki Gas Illumination Company.

The company was a private monopoly, that had been granted in 1860 an exclusive permit for street illumination until 1900 in those areas of Helsinki, where it had built the network.

[1] Bergroth travelled to Germany and Switzerland for a field trip visiting the local gas works and collecting knowledge.

[1] When Hietalahti Shipyard and Engineering Works was re-established after bankruptcy on 18 November 1895, Bergroth was selected its first manager.

During the economic upswing prior to First World War, the company invested on production of various yarn types, canvas, sailcloth and plain weave for bedclothes.

Bergroth took part in number of state committees, Swedish-speaking technical association, voluntary fire brigade activities and charity work.
