Hugo Birger (born Hugo Birger Peterson) was a Swedish painter.
Born in Stockholm, he had a father who was printmaker S. A. Peterson. Birger studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts from 1870 to 1877. In 1877, he was awarded with the "Royal medal" for his painting Syndafallet. It was praised for its strong colors and shininess.
