Vice Admiral Erik Magnus Anderberg CVO (1 January 1892 – 28 February 1990) was a Swedish Navy officer.

[2] He was admitted at age 14 at the six-year long course at the Royal Swedish Naval Academy where he became underlöjtnant in 1912.

[3] In the same class, throughout the entire education period was Jacob Wallenberg, later the CEO of Stockholms Enskilda Bank.

[3] After the World War II's neutrality watch and education during the first years as an officer, Anderberg made a lasting effort in the signal and intercommunication service.

[3] Anderberg's technical orientation, his intuitive talent, good memory and outstanding language skills made him particularly suitable for tasks in international contexts.

[3] Anderberg is considered the grand architect of the notion of a unified Swedish signal intelligence authority after playing a crucial role both in the practical development of radio monitoring and in the early recruitment of key civilian personnel of high calibre for cryptoanalytical work.

[5] In the spring of 1931, regular signal collection of military radio traffic was started on the coastal defence ship HSwMS Drottning Victoria.
