Gustaf Olof Cederström (1845-1933) was a Swedish painter who specialized in historical scenes and portraits.

His father, Carl Emanuel Cederström [sv] (1804-1892) was a naval officer and his mother, Theresine (1815-1873), was an amateur painter.

His interest in history began when he was still very young and he discovered that one of his ancestors had participated in the Skirmish at Bender.

[1] His first success came at the Exposition Universelle (1878), where he displayed a somewhat romanticized scene featuring the body of the late Swedish King, Karl XII, being carried home.

His best known works are an autobiography, En gammal konstnärs minnen (An Old Artist's Memories, 1926) and Gammalt och nytt (Old and New, 1929).
