Anders Örbom (May 09, 1675 - May 25, 1740) was a Captain in the Swedish Army.

Captain Örbom was born in Örebro, Sweden in 1675. Sometimes his name is written as Anders Orbom. He took part in the campaign at Humlebäck on Zealand, a Danish island where Copenhagen is located, in 1700. He crossed the Düna River in Riga in the Ukraine in 1701 and was in the battle that defeated the Russian-Saxon Army. He fought in the battles of Klissow in 1702 and Holofzin in 1708.

During the Battle of Poltava, on June 28, 1709, Anders was wounded with a bullet to the face, which remained lodged in his skull. He was then captured on the Dnepr River, in the Ukraine on July 01, 1709, and was taken to Siberia as a prisoner-of-war along with other officers captured during the battle. All the soldiers were executed and the officers were imprisoned.

He married Anna Elisabeth Von Rohr (1701-1744) on September 05, 1719 in Solikamsk, Siberia, Russia. Anna's father was Joakim von Rohr, Lieutenant Colonel and Commander of Dalarö, the military fortress east of Stockholm, on the Baltic. Her mother was Katarina Charlotta Klingenberg.

Together Anders and Elisabeth had their first child in Siberia: Anders Örbom II (1720-1783) who was a Captain in the Swedish Army who married Christina Ruuth.

Anders returned home to Sweden in 1721 or 1722 and lived in Brunflo and later Rödön and had the following additional children: Carl Joachim Örbom (1721-1810) Captain of the Swedish Army who married Beata Dorothea Von Saltza (1721-1764); Erik Johan Örbom (1723-1802) who was a Major in the Jämtland Regiment who married Helena Ruuth (1729-1802); Anna Catharina Örbom (1725-?); Gustaf Örbom I (1728-1730); Charlotta Örbom (1730-?); Gustaf Örbom II (1732-1807) who was a Captain in the Swedish Army who married Sophia Lovisa Winnberg (1744-1807); Christopher Örbom (1735-1828) who was a Captain in the Swedish Army who married E.M. Sundström (1736-?); Sara Elisabeth Örbom (1736-?); and Petrus Örbom (1738-?) who was a Lieutenant in the Swedish Army.

Captain Anders Örbom died on May 25, 1740 and he was buried in Rödön, Sweden on June 05, 1740.
