Senior Colonel Per Hjalmar Ludvig Carleson (11 July 1917 – 8 June 2004) was a Swedish officer and épée fencer.

During high school years at Högre latinläroverket å Norrmalm, he became Swedish champion and record holder in the 100 m backstroke.

As a result of an amphibious investigation, appointed by Sweden's Supreme Commander and boat investigations in the Naval Staff, the Chief of the Navy was commissioned by the Supreme Commander to carry out experimental training of mobile ground combat units in the archipelago.

It was natural that the Coastal Artillery Inspector appointed the then captain Carleson to prepare and conduct this activity in 1956.

[13] He became president of Majorna's Rotary club in Gothenburg and governor of the district and Swedish representative in the international law council.

The voluntary education organization Förbundet Kustjägarna ("Coastal Ranger Association"), which was formed in 2003, handed over its newly established gold medal with number 1 to Carleson.

[2] In 1952, he married Karin Stenbeck (born 1906), the daughter of Magnus Ekstedt and Anna (née Hörman).
