Rudolf Cederström

General-Admiral Olof Rudolf Cederström (8 February 1764 – 1 June 1833) was a Swedish Navy officer and politician. Born in Landskrona, Cederström joined the Swedish navy in 1779 and served in the Russo-Swedish War of 1788–1790. During the French Revolutionary Wars, he protected Swedish shipping in the North Sea but was sentenced to death following his failure to prevent the British from detaining a convoy he was escorting. Following being pardoned and restored to his former position, Cederström was sent to the Mediterranean in 1801 and participated in the First Barbary War, signing a peace treaty with the Regency of Tripoli following 20 months of inconclusive operations.

In 1808, Cederström led an expedition which recaptured Russian-occupied Gotland during the Finnish War. He subsequently fought in the War of the Sixth Coalition, participating in the capture of Western Pomerania from Franco-Danish forces, along with the Swedish–Norwegian War in 1814. Cederström entered into a political career in 1815, but resigned from all his positions in 1828 over a controversy stemming from the sale of decommissioned warships to the Patriot governments. He retired to his estate in Uppland County, dying there in 1833.
