Ragnar Edenman (1914–1998) was a Swedish politician who was part of the Swedish Social Democratic Party and served as the minister of education and ecclesiastical affairs between 1957 and 1967 and as the governor of Uppsala County from 1967 to 1980. Johan Östling argues that Edenman was one of the Swedish generation of 1945 figures who adopted the rationalist cultural radicalism.[1]
