Johan August Warberg (5 May 1842 - 16 October 1915)[1] was a Swedish stage and film actor and theater director whose career spanned over fifty years.

Warberg made his stage debut as an actor in 1861.[2] During his long career as a stage actor and theater director, he worked the Vasateatern, Mindre teatern, Djurgårdsteatern, Södra teatern and the Svenska Teatern.[3]

He married stage actress Anna Sofia Charlotta "Lotten" Warberg (née Magnusson) in 1865 and the couple had three children.[4]

Before his death at age 73 in 1915, he also appeared in a number of silent films. All but one, 1916's Edmond Hansen-directed Ålderdom och dårskap, were directed by Victor Sjöström.[5]
