Roland Svensson (18 January 1910 – 31 July 2003), was a Swedish painter, writer, black and white artist, illustrator of books and originals for stamps.

Svensson sought out his motifs among the islets and skerries around the summer cottage and studio at Stora Tornö, across the Långvik strait on Möja in the Stockholm archipelago.

In two books by Sven Barthel, Svensson contributed with black and white illustrations as well as water colors and pastel drawings.

[citation needed] In 1957 and 1958 Svensson participated, as an artist, in arctic expeditions to Spitsbergen and North Cape, Norway aboard the ship Älvsnabben.

Svensson spent much time on the Isle of Canna in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland where he was a close friend of folklorists John Lorne Campbell and Margaret Fay Shaw.
