Gustaf Timothy Troedsson (9 May 1891, in Kulleröd, Northern Åkarps parish, Kristianstad County – 12 December 1954, in Lund), was a Swedish geologist and paleontologist.

Troedsson defended his Ph.D. in geology in 1918 on the thesis Om Skånes brachiopodskiffer (On brachiopod shale of Skane) at Lund University, where he became Associate Professor in 1919.

He was Professor of Geology at Stockholm University from 1924 till 1929 and became a lecturer in biology and geography at Higher general secondary school in Helsingborg in 1929.

Troedsson research focussed on early paleozoic fossils, stratigraphy and geography, as well as on mesozoic formations in southern Sweden.

Among his works on the Mesozoic is a survey of crocodile finds in Skåne youngest Cretaceous (1923-24).
