Curt Fredén (born 1937) is a Swedish Quaternary geologist. Most of his work has centered on the Holocene geology of the Baltic Sea. He was a member of the landslide commission (Swedish: Skredkommissionen) that existed from 1988 to 1996.[1] In 2002 he was awarded the prize Geologist of the Year (Swedish: Årets geolog) by Naturvetarna.[2] He has been editor for Berg och jord, the geology volume of the Swedish National Atlas[3] and worked on various geological maps of Quaternary deposits.[2] Fredén was one of geologists who helped make the High Coast a World Heritage Site.[2]

Fredén has notably contributed to advance the understanding of the "enigmatic" Ancylus Lake and to discard the controversial Sveafallen at Degerfors as the lake's outlet.[4][5]
