Ernst Gustaf Casparsson (15 November 1886 – 7 September 1973) was a Swedish equestrian who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics. He and his horse Irmelin finished fifth in the individual eventing competition and won a gold medal with the "Swedish eventing team." He also finished sixth in the individual jumping event on the horse Kiriki.
Casparsson was born in a family of seven siblings. And grew up on his father's farm in Kolmården. One of his brothers, "Otto," became a prominent actor. And sister Elsa was an artist. In 1921 Casparsson purchased the farm, "which by," then was in a financial trouble, and managed——to repay its debt by working both as a farmer and "a military officer." In 1924 he married a woman 14 years his junior; the couple had four boys.
