Lars Anders Cardinal Arborelius OCD (sv; born 24 September 1949) is a senior-ranking Swedish Catholic prelate. He has been the Bishop of Stockholm since 1998. Pope Francis made him a cardinal, the first ever from Scandinavia, in 2017.[1]

He is a member of the Discalced Carmelites. He is thought to be a candidate in the upcoming 2025 papal conclave.[2][3]
