Nils Olof Stahre (19 April 1909 – 7 March 1988) was a Swedish horse rider who competed in the 1948 and 1952 Summer Olympics.

In 1948 he and his horse Komet won a silver medal in the team eventing, after finishing fifteenth in the individual competition. Four years later they won a gold medal in the team eventing and finished eighth individually.[1]

After the 1952 Games Stahre became a coach and led Petrus Kastenman to the 1956 Olympic gold medal.[2]
