Per Johan Vilhelm Pettersson (1814–1854), was a Swedish ballet dancer.
Vilhelm Pettersson was reportedly from a poor background as the son of laborers.
He became a student of the Royal Swedish Ballet in 1826, a premier student in 1834, a second dancer in 1835, and a premier- and grotesque dancer in 1838–54.
During the 1830s, he was referred to as one of the male stars of the ballet alongside Anders Selinder, Per Christian Johansson and Carl Wilhelm Silfverberg.
It was said of him: Aside from his dance career, he is described as a self-educated autodidact, and was offered an office as an assistant numismatic expert at the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities in 1854, shortly before he died of an illness.
