Sven Stolpe (Stockholm 24 August 1905 – Filipstad 26 August 1996), was a Swedish writer, translator, journalist, literary scholar and critic. He was active in Swedish literary and intellectual discussion for most of his life. In the early 1930s he argued for internationalism and against esteticism, but he was also part of the Oxford Group which claimed the necessity of "moral and spiritual re-armament" and later in life, in 1947, he became a catholic. Among his literary production is a dissertation on queen Christina of Sweden, who abdicated as a result of her own conversion to Catholicism, which was published in 1959.

In 1984, the Belgian biographer Joris Taels published a biography of Stolpe.

He is buried in Vadstena cemetery.
