Carl Björkman

Carl Björkman (1873 - 1948) was a politician on the Åland Islands, Finland. He was the first premier of the Government of Åland.

Following Finland's declaration of independence in 1917, Björkman became one of the leading proponents of returning Åland to Sweden, which resulted in the the Åland Crisis. Before the resolution of the crisis, Björkman, along with Julius Sundblom, was arrested by Finnish police and spent a few days in prison, accused of high treason.

In 1922, Björkman became the first Lantråd of Landskapsstyrelsen (later called Landskapsregeringen), that is the premier of the executive branch of the Åland government, which had been instituted in accordance with the Finnish Autonomy Act of 1920 as part of the solution to the Åland Crisis. He would serve as lantråd until 1938.
