Nils Olof Thorbjörn Fälldin (24 April 1926 – 23 July 2016) was a Swedish politician and farmer who served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 1976 to 1978 and again from 1979 to 1982. From 1971 to 1985, he was leader of the Centre Party.
Upon first taking office in 1976, he was the first non-Social Democratic prime minister in 40 years, and the first since the 1930s not having worked as a professional politician since his teens. He was also the last Swedish prime minister to not be from the Social Democrats or Moderate Party.
