General Gustaf Fredrik Oskar Uggla (22 January 1846 – 7 January 1924) was a senior Swedish Army officer. Uggla had a distinguished military career in Sweden during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Commissioned in 1863, he rose through the ranks, serving in various capacities, including as a teacher at the Royal Military Academy and as a military attaché in Vienna. Uggla's career highlights include commanding the Royal Military Academy and later the 2nd Army Division. He retired as a general in 1913 but continued contributing to military committees.

In addition to his military service, Uggla played a significant role at the Royal Court, serving as ordinance officer to King Oscar II and later becoming First Aide-de-Camp and Chief of His Majesty's Military Staff under King Gustaf V. Uggla's dismissal in 1923 marked the end of his service. Apart from his military and court roles, Uggla engaged in various activities, such as chairing the Central Board of the National Rifle Clubs and serving in the Swedish Red Cross. He was also involved in military writing, contributing to publications on war history and serving as chairman in the Executive Board of the King's Hospital and the life insurance company Balder.
