Claes-Ingvar Lagerkvist is a Swedish astronomer at the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory. He is known for his work on the shapes and spin properties of minor planets.

He has discovered a few periodic comets, including P/1996 R2 (Lagerkvist) and P/1997 T3 (Lagerkvist-Carsenty) (these are not yet numbered, since they have not been seen at more than one appearance).

He has also discovered a number of asteroids, including the Trojan asteroid (37732) 1996 TY68. Asteroid 2875 Lagerkvist, discovered February 11, 1983 by Edward L. G. Bowell of the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS), was named in his honour.
