Tor Bonnier (3 January 1883 – 17 February 1976) was a Swedish publisher and businessman associated with the publishing house Albert Bonniers Förlag.[1] He became a partner in the firm in 1913 and later served as chairman of its board from 1941 to 1953.[1]

Bonnier published several writers of the Swedish "tiotalisterna" generation, including Sigfrid Siwertz, Hjalmar Bergman, Marika Stiernstedt, Sven Lidman, Ludvig Nordström and Elin Wägner.[1]

He also played a role in the wider Swedish press and media world. A scholarly history of Swedish newspapers notes his involvement in discussions surrounding the future ownership of Göteborgs-Posten in 1926, illustrating his prominence in Swedish media beyond book publishing.[2]

Obituaries and retrospective coverage in major Swedish newspapers described Bonnier as one of the central figures in 20th-century Swedish publishing.[3][4]
