Carl Hårleman (23 June 1886 – 20 August 1948) was a Swedish gymnast and track and field athlete who competed in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics. In 1908 he was part of the Swedish gymnastics team that won the all-around gold medal. Four years later he finished twelfth in the pole vault competition.[2][3]
In 1913 Hårleman placed second in the pole vault at the British AAA championships. In 1917 he won the Swedish pole vault title, and set a national record that stood until 1921.[2][3]
