Thorild Olsson (26 November 1886 – 20 March 1934) was a Swedish runner who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics. He helped the Swedish 3000 m relay team to finish second, but did not receive a medal because only three best runners from a team were counted, while he was fourth. He failed to reach the final of the individual 5000 m event.[2][3]
