Axel Emanuel Eriksson (10 March 1884 – 20 December 1975) was a Swedish rower who competed in the 1912 and 1920 Summer Olympics.[1] In 1912 he was a member of the Swedish boat Vaxholm that was eliminated in the first round of the coxed four competition. Eight years later, he rowed with his younger brother Gösta as a coxswain, and they were again eliminated in the first round.[2][3]
