Bengt Henrik Fjällberg (born September 15, 1961 in Tärnaby ) is a former Swedish ski racer .

At the beginning of the 1980s, Fjällberg was the strongest Swedish slalom runner behind his cousin Ingemar Stenmark . Under the training of the South Tyrolean Hermann Nogler , he was in the top ten twelve times in the World Cup between 1981 and 1986. He achieved his highest placings with two second places in the Oslo slalom in February 1981 and in the Le Markstein slalom in February 1983.

The greatest sporting success of his career was at the 1982 World Cup in Schladming , when he won the bronze medal on the Planai behind Stenmark and the Yugoslav Bojan Križaj . In the same year he became Swedish slalom champion . In his only Olympic participation in Sarajevo in 1984 , he was eliminated in the second slalom run, as was the case at the 1985 World Championships in Bormio .
