Baron Didrik Anders Gillis Bildt (16 October 1820 – 22 October 1894) was a Swedish politician and military officer who served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 1888 to 1889. As widely respected general, he was appointed head of government by King Oscar II during a tense political deadlock regarding protectionist tariff policy. He is the great-great-grandfather of Carl Bildt, prime minister from 1991 to 1994.
