Carl Wilhelm Oseen (1879, Lund - 1944, Uppsala) was a theoretical physicist in Uppsala and Director of the Nobel Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm.

Oseen formulated the fundamentals of the elasticity theory of liquid crystals (Oseen elasticity theory), and, with Willis Lamb, gave his name to the Lamb-Oseen vortex. Oseen was the man who suggested Albert Einstein for the Nobel Prize in 1921, for his work on the photoelectric effect.
