Jan Berglin ( pronunciation : [ ˌ ʝɑːn bæɹʝˈliːn ], born March 24, 1960 ) is a Swedish comic strip artist, author and teacher.

His comics were first published in the student magazine ERGO of the Uppsala student body. For several years they have also appeared in Svenska Dagbladet , one of Sweden's two major national daily newspapers, and in other magazines. His characters are characterized by oversized noses and the comics contain relatively long texts. Berglin finds his subjects in the eternal relationship boxes, in the wickedness of the object and in the flagellation of the zeitgeist . Berglin has already received several awards.

In the summer of 2004, the Stockholm House of Culture showed an exhibition of his cartoons and comics for several months .

Berglin also works part-time as a teacher.
