Rear Admiral Gunnar Emil Grandin (10 July 1918 – 2 August 2004) was a Swedish Navy officer. Grandin's career in the Swedish Navy began in 1940 when he graduated from the Royal Swedish Naval Academy. Over the years, he rose through the ranks, serving on coastal defence ships and minesweepers. By 1965, he had attained the rank of captain. In his later career, Grandin played a crucial role in the development and procurement of naval equipment and systems for the Swedish Navy. He helped transition Sweden from relying on foreign naval electronics to achieving self-sufficiency in this area. This collaboration extended to other Nordic countries, especially Denmark and Norway, resulting in cost-sharing for various projects and more efficient production.

Grandin's contributions were not limited to his naval career; he was actively involved in various naval societies and played a role in preserving naval history. He was also instrumental in creating the Swedish Room at the Museo Storico Navale in Venice, Italy. His career culminated in his promotion to rear admiral in 1970, where he oversaw the planning and procurement of ships and weapon systems for the Swedish Navy. He retired in 1982.
