Gustaf Klarén (March 30, 1906 – September 27, 1984) was a Swedish wrestler who competed in the 1932 Summer Olympics.
In 1932 he won the bronze medal in the lightweight competition.
He was initially not able to participate in the Olympics (probably for purely economical reasons) but the inhabitants of Borås helped him by raising money, and he could eventually go. Gustaf Klarén owned and ran a cigar store at Lilla Brogatan (a street) in Borås, Sweden.[1]
