Per Myrberg (b. 1933), born Per Nils Myrberg, is a Swedish actor and singer who voiced Roosevelt Franklin, Sammy the Snake, and sang over the Joe Raposo animal film songs on Sesam, the first Swedish version of Sesame Street. He later dubbed Rugby Tiger in Leksakernas julafton (The Christmas Toy) and Geppetto in The Adventures of Pinocchio.

Myrberg graduated from Dramatens acting school in 1957, and in subsequent years, he could be seen in various theaters around Sweden. His first movie role was as Erik Svensson in Värmlänningarna (1957). His subsequent work in movies and TV ranged from comedies to leading roles in dramas, as well as a supporting role in the English language film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

His voice credits include the Disney movies One Hundred and One Dalmatians (as Roger Radcliff in the original 1961 dub),The Little Mermaid (Sebastian), The Aristocats (Thomas O'Malley), and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (Preston B. Whitmore), as well as Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (narrator), An American Tail (Honest John), and Tintin and the Temple of the Sun.

As a singer, Myrberg has had a handful of hits on the Swedish charts, including a cover of "Yellow Submarine." In 1988, he was given the royal order "Litteris et artibus," which is awarded each year to one or more artists.
