Per Thomas Håkansson[1][2] (born 19 October 1957) is a Swedish and Canadian curler,[3] a 1976 European bronze medallist and two-time Swedish men's champion (1976, 1980).
His team won the 1976 Sweden men's championship, but it was decided that the team members were too young for the World Championship, so team Bengt Cederwall (skip)[4] went to the 1976 Worlds instead.
He would later move to Canada, and played in the 1985 and 1988 Labatt Brier for Nova Scotia.
