Jan Otto Lundvik (born 20 June 1933) is a retired Swedish diplomat who began his career as a translator at the Swedish Embassy in Budapest (1960–1962) before joining the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Stockholm as an attaché. He served in Helsinki, Monrovia, Addis Ababa, and Moscow, and held senior positions at the Ministry, including deputy director and director. Lundvik represented Sweden at the UN in New York City, serving as Vice-Chairperson of the Special Committee on Decolonization (C-24) in 1984–1985, and was appointed envoy to Pretoria in 1985.

Lundvik later served as Consul General in Berlin, overseeing cultural relations and the Swedish Embassy's relocation from Bonn to Berlin, and was accredited as ambassador to Moldova in 1992. From 1994 to 1998, he served as Sweden's ambassador to Hungary, co-founding the Swedish-Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and playing a key role in preserving the memory of Raoul Wallenberg. After retirement, Lundvik remained active in Swedish-Hungarian relations and led investigations into the Wallenberg case at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
