Claes-Göran Cederlund (21 August 1948 - 15 November 2020) was a Swedish radiologist and birdwatcher.
Cederlund is known for his record-making "life list" of different birds observed.[1][2] His total reached 9,761[3] or 9,770,[4] according to two different counts, making him top-ranked on both. Cederlund's total continued to increase posthumously, due to updates in the official listings of bird species.[5]
In the course of his birdwatching pursuits, Cederlund visited over 135 countries.[6] He died on 15 November 2020 at the age of 72.[7]
