Karl Stegger (11 January 1913, in Aarhus – 13 April 1980, in Frederiksberg) was a Danish actor, who appeared in 157 films which makes him the second-most used Danish film actor after Ove Sprogøe[1].

He mostly appeared in comedy, but also had some serious roles e.g. as the vicar in Præsten i Vejlby (based on the Steen Steensen Blicher drama). He became famous in 1955 when he replaced Ib Schønberg as the father in the popular Far-til-Fire-film series (Father of Four). Later he appeared in several of the Olsen-banden-movies and the TV series Matador as Consul Holm.
