Oskar Eriksson (born 29 May 1991) is a Swedish curler from Karlstad. He currently plays third for the Niklas Edin rink.
At the 2008 World Junior Curling Championships, Eriksson skipped Team Sweden to a silver medal, losing to the United States in the final, skipped by Chris Plys.
At the 2009 World Junior Curling Championships, Eriksson skipped Sweden to a fourth-place finish. He once again lost to Plys, this time for a different medal colour.
At the 2011 World Junior Curling Championships, Eriksson finally won a gold medal, defeating Switzerland's Peter de Cruz 6–5 in the final.
At those three World Junior Championships, Eriksson won 24 games and lost 9.
