Sten Sture Tolgfors (born 17 July 1966 in Forshaga) is a Swedish former politician, public affairs executive and government official who is serving as Governor of Västra Götaland County since 1 September 2022, having been appointed to the position on 9 June 2022.

He is a conscientious objector, meaning that he refused to carry arms when called to Swedish mandatory military service.

Tolgfors has consistently been involved in bullying issues during his parliamentary period, and considers among other things, that schools should use research-based program that provides proven efficacy.

On 24 October 2006, Tolgfors was appointed Minister for Foreign Trade, succeeding Maria Borelius.

Tolgfors received negative attention in March 2012 over the way he dealt with the issue concerning the so-called Project Simoom.

Later the same day Tolgfors was registered by Gustav Fridolin to the Constitution Committee on plans for a weapons factory in Saudi Arabia.

Tolgfors quickly moved from his position as a minister to become an arms lobbyist at the public affairs agency Rud Pedersen - with less than six months between his resignation and his new job.
