Björn Ferm (born 10 August 1944) is a Swedish modern pentathlete and Olympic champion. He competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, where he received a gold medal in modern pentathlon.[1] He originally won a bronze medal in the team competition along with Hans Jacobson and Hans-Gunnar Liljenvall. However, he was stripped of the medal after Liljenvall failed a drug test (for alcohol).[2]
He competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, where he finished 6th. He won individual World Championship bronze medal twice, 1967 and 1969. Ferm is five times Swedish individual Champion in Modern Pentathlon (A6), 6 times Swedish team Champion in Modern Pentathlon (A6) and one time Swedish team Champion in Épée fencing (team Djurgårdens IF).
