Karl Sven Joakim Haeggman (born 28 August 1969 in Kalmar, Sweden) is a Swedish European Tour golfer. He turned professional in 1989 and won his place on the Tour at that year's qualifying school. He has won three events on the European Tour, and several other professional events. His best seasons were 1993, 1997 and 2004, in each of which he made the top twenty on the Order of Merit.

In 1993 Haeggman became the first Swede to play for the European Team in the Ryder Cup. He was out of the game for nearly two years following an ice hockey accident in 1994 which left him with a dislocated shoulder and broken ribs, which deprived him of the chance to play in the following Ryder Cup, and he has not represented Europe again. He also missed half a season after breaking his ankle playing ice hockey in December 2002.

He has featured in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
