Lars Axel Carlzon (20 February 1918 – 23 July 2004) was a Swedish prelate who was the Bishop in Stockholm between 1979 and 1984.
In 1954 he was involved in the health and care sector for sailors and in 1961 he became Deputy Secretary General of the Church of Sweden's Seamen's board of directors and secretary-general between 1962 and 1972.
Carlzon, who was a Social Democrat who advocated in favour of female priests, was an activist with regard to peace and immigration issues and was seen in various protests.
He received both appreciation and criticism for his support for homosexuals and the worship services in connection with the Pride Week that he organised.
According to some, he had no real sympathy with the Communist regime in East Germany and received the news about the fall of the Berlin Wall with great joy.
