August Bondeson (February 2, 1854, Vessigebro, Sweden-September 23, 1906, Gothenburg, Sweden) was a Swedish author and depictor of popular culture.

He is one of the most popular depictors of popular Swedish culture. He did in particular study popular life in souther Sweden, close to his birthplace. Tales such as "Halländska sagor, samlade och berättade" (Collected and Narrated Hallandic Tales), "Allmogeberättelser" (Popular Tales) och "Historiegubbar på Dal" (Tale-telling Old Mans at Dal) gave him a large and faithful audience.

He is most well known for "John Chronschoughs memoarer från uppväksttiden och seminarieåren" (John Chronschough's memoirs), which take place at the teachers seminar in Gothenburg in the early 1860s. The book was publisched in 1897 and was followed by an independent second part 1904.

His home Fågelboet (the Birds nest) was donated to the County Museum of Halland and is preserved almost unchanged since the days of Bondeson.
