Nils "Niklas" Skoglund (15 August 1906 – 1 January 1980) was a Swedish diver who won the silver medal in the plain high diving competition at the 1920 Summer Olympics.[1] He still remains the youngest male Olympian to win a medal in an individual event, at 14 years, 11 days.

After the Olympics Skoglund retired from diving and played water polo for his club Stockholms KK.[2] His elder brother Erik competed in swimming at the 1924 Summer Olympics,[3] and the other brother Gunnar was a film actor.
