Mats Göran Olofsson[1] (born 25 September 1945) is a Swedish curler.[2]

His team competed for Sweden in the 1976 World Men's championship, because it was decided that the 1976 Swedish championship team from IF GÖTA (skip Jens Håkansson) was too young for the World Championship and so they[3] went to the Worlds instead.[2]

From 1991 to 1995 he was a board member of the Swedish Curling Association (Swedish: Svenska Curlingförbundet).[2]
