Sven August Wilhelm Colliander (23 May 1890 – 16 September 1961) was a Swedish Lieutenant General and horse rider who competed in the 1928 and 1936 Summer Olympics.

In 1928 he finished 13th in the individual eventing on the horse King, and his eventing team was unplaced. Eight years later he and his horse Kål XX were part of the Swedish dressage team that won the bronze medal, after finishing eleventh in the individual competition.[1][2]
