Egon Möller-Nielsen (9 May 1915 - 27 September 1959) was a Danish-Swedish architect and sculptor. He was known for his abstract sculptures in surreal style which are found in several Swedish sites.[1]

Möller-Nielsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. His parents were Niels Möller-Nielsen and Agnes Mary Gunnild Topshøj. He studied sculpture and architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1934-1937. During the period 1937–38, he made extensive study trips: Sweden, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom.[2] Working with the Swedish book publisher Åke Löfgren, he illustrated the children's book Historien om någon (1951),[3][4] which is considered a classic among children's books and was commercially successful, with between half a million and a million copies sold as of 2019.[5][3][6][7]

He worked at an architectural office at Helsinki in 1938-1939 and at Stockholm in 1939-1943. From 1957-1959, he taught sculpture at Konstfackskolan in Stockholm. He died during 1959 in Stockholm.[8]
