Oscar Börje Leander (7 March 1918 – 30 October 2003) was a Swedish footballer. He played 249 matches as a midfielder for AIK and scored 25 goals, mostly successful penalty kicks. He also played 23 times for the Swedish national team, scoring four goals. He was part of the Swedish Olympic squad that won a gold medal in 1948 Summer Olympics. When Knut Nordahl was injured in the opening match against Austria, Leander stepped in as a substitute right-back, and stayed until the final, when Nordahl recovered.
