Salomon Arvid Achates Lindman (19 September 1862 – 9 December 1936), also known as the Admiral (Swedish: Amiralen), was a Swedish conservative statesman, military officer, and industrialist who served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 1906 to 1911 and again from 1928 to 1930. He was leader of the General Electoral League from 1912 and represented Stockholm in the Riksdag from 1905 until his retirement in 1935. Regarded as one of the fathers of modern Sweden, he led the passage of universal male suffrage and electoral reform.
He was also leader of the Lantmanna and bourgeois Party (Swedish: Lantmanna- och borgarepartiet; a member party of the General Electoral League) from 1913 to 1935, except for a brief period in 1917 when he served as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
