Yngve Sixten Vilhelm Lundbohm (1895–1982) was a Swedish painter and draughtsman. Trained in Sweden, Denmark, France, and Spain, he was notably a student of André Lhote in Paris. He traveled extensively throughout Europe, especially in France and Spain, which provided his main sources of inspiration. His work is characterized by landscapes and architectural subjects with monumental forms, influenced by Cubism. He exhibited regularly in Sweden and the Nordic countries from 1919 onward. From 1953, he taught free painting at Konstfack. He also held several important positions within Swedish art institutions. In 1960, he was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal.

Lundbohm’s works are represented in the collections of the Nationalmuseum and the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the Postal Museum, the Malmö Museum, the Södermanland Museum, Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde, the Borås Museum of Art, the Linköping Museum, and the Västerås Art Museum.
