Sven Fredrik Lidman (11 December 1786 – 9 March 1845) was a Swedish priest and Orientalist.

[1] From 1811 to 1817, he served as a preacher at the Swedish legation in Constantinople (now Istanbul) where he purchased a number of antiquities from the French team at Luxor from Deir el-Medina; while Lidman's notebooks of his travels in Egypt survived, the collection was destroyed in fire in Constantinople in 1818.

[2] In 1817, he obtained a teaching position in Linköping, where he was appointed cathedral dean (domprost) in 1824.

Lidman was a member of the Geatish Society, using the pseudonym Sigurd Jorsalefarer.
