Åke Herman Gottfrid Bergman (26 May 1896 – 27 February 1941) was a Swedish swimmer.[1] He competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics in the 100 m backstroke event, but failed to reach the final.[2]

Bergman lived with his parents Anders and Berta near a public bath, where he started training in swimming. He later also played water polo but lost vision in one eye after an injury during a competition. He was a hatter by profession, as his father owned a hat factory and had a daughter, Karin.[3]
