Olof Hindrik "Olle" Larsson (21 June 1928 – 13 January 1960) was a Swedish rower who competed in the 1956 Summer Olympics. He won a silver medal in the coxed fours and finished fourth in the eights competition.[1] He won two silver medals in these events at the 1955 European Championships.[2]
Larsson was killed in an accident on a tugboat in Trollhättan. Since then a trophy in his honor is given to the national champions in the coxed fours.[3]
