Lieutenant General Oscar Fredrik Osterman (5 September 1874 – 3 November 1956) was a senior Swedish Army officer. Osterman, a graduate of the Military Academy Karlberg in 1894, held various high-ranking positions within the Swedish Army. He served notably in artillery roles, becoming head of the Artillery Department's Construction Section from 1908 to 1912 and again from 1914 to 1915. Later, he assumed significant responsibilities as Acting Deputy Chief of Ordnance and subsequently as Deputy Chief of Ordnance until 1926. Promoted through the ranks, he eventually commanded the Boden Artillery Regiment in 1926 and the Göta Artillery Regiment in 1930 before becoming a major general in 1933. His career culminated in appointments such as Master-General of the Ordnance and chief of the Swedish Army Ordnance Corps in 1934, leading to his retirement as a lieutenant general in 1939. Osterman also played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Swedish Association of Army, Navy, and Air Force Officers and served as its first chairman from 1932 to 1936.
