Hans Folke "Hasse" Alfredson (born 28 June 1931) is a Swedish actor, film director, writer and comedian. He was born in Malmö, Sweden. He is known for his collaboration with Tage Danielsson as the duo Hasse & Tage. His most celebrated contribution to their brand of humorist humanism was his ability to extemporize wildly absurd comic situations, for example in the so-called Lindeman dialogues.

At the 11th Guldbagge Awards, he won the Best Director award for his 1975 film Egg! Egg! A Hardboiled Story.[1] His 1981 film The Simple-Minded Murderer won three awards at the 18th Guldbagge Awards[2] and was entered into the 32nd Berlin International Film Festival.[3] His 1985 film False as Water won the award for Best Director at the 21st Guldbagge Awards.[4]

1992–1994 Hans Alfredson was head of the open-air museum Skansen in Stockholm. He has also written a string of books, some intensely comic in a Monty Python style, some equally intensely tragic, some a mixture of the two.

He is the father of directors Daniel and Tomas Alfredson.
