Olof Hindrik "Olle" Larsson (21 June 1928 – 13 January 1960) was a Swedish rower who competed in the 1956 Summer Olympics. He won a silver medal in the coxed fours and finished fourth in the eights competition. He won two silver medals in these events at the 1955 European Championships.
Larsson was killed in an accident on a tugboat in Trollhättan. Since then a trophy in his honor is given to the national champions in the coxed fours.
