Nils Gustav Ludvig Apelman-Öberg (1912–1997) was a Swedish painter who combined technical training with formal art studies to develop a distinctive mid-20th century practice. Born in Stockholm, he was the son of Gustav Öberg and Hedvig Lagerquist, and married Ellen Björling from 1934 to 1943.

After working as a painter’s apprentice while pursuing technical studies, he shifted focus to fine art, studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm (1943–1947). He furthered his education through study trips to Norway and France (1948–1949). Apelman-Öberg exhibited individually at Rålambshof in 1945 and jointly with Hans Ekvall at Galerie Acté in 1948. His career reflects a balance of craftsmanship and academic training, contributing to Sweden’s evolving art scene in the postwar period.
