Oskar Ingemar Eriksson (born May 29, 1991) is a Swedish curler from Karlstad. He currently plays third for the Niklas Edin rink. He is a four-time World Men's Curling Champion, seven-time European Men's Curling Champion, and the first curler in history to win three gold medals in major curling championships in a single calendar year – the World Men's Curling Championship, the European Curling Championship, and the World Mixed Doubles Championship. He is the only member of Team Sweden to have competed in all of the World Men's Curling Championships from 2011 to 2019. He won medals in all but one of these championships, as well as playing in multiple positions – as skip (silver, 2014), third (gold, 2015, 2018, 2019 and silver, 2017), second (bronze, 2012), and as an alternate (gold, 2013 and bronze, 2011). As of 2021, he has reached twenty-three playoffs at Grand Slam of Curling events, including winning three Grand Slam tournaments and the Pinty's Cup as part of Team Niklas Edin, the first non-Canadian men's team to do so. In 2019, Eriksson and his teammates also became the first men's team since 2003 to win back-to-back World Curling Championships.
