Birger Carlstedt (12 July 1907, in Helsinki – 3 October 1975 in Helsinki) was a Finnish pioneer of Modern Art.[1]

The son of businessman John Wilhelm Carlstedt and Amanda Josefina Lindström, he studied at the School of the Fine Arts Association of Finland and the Central School of Applied Arts in Helsinki. He developed a non-figurative abstract form of expression.[2]

Carlstedt was married three times: first to Ingegärd Jacquette af Forselles in 1932; then to Inga Hjördis Beatrice Roos in 1941 and finally to the pianist France Ellegaard in 1949.[1]
