Ola Thoralf Alfsson (born October 13, 1957) is a Swedish blogger and former politician of the Sweden Democrats party who served as a member of the Riksdag.

On the Riksdag website, Alfsson listed his occupation as an automotive consultant before entering politics.[1] Alfsson was elected to the Riksdag in the 2010 Swedish general election for the Sweden Democrats party and represented the Östergötland County constituency. He was also involved in writing some of the party's manifesto ahead of the election.[2] In the Riksdag, he focused on matters related to energy policy, criminal policy, immigration and cultural issues.[3] He also supported a measure by the Swedish police to compile a public register of Roma people in Sweden.[4] Alfsson was a councilor for the Sweden Democrats in Kalmar.[5][6]

In 2011, a local Swedish Social Democratic Party politician in Östergötland was convicted of defamation and fined after he posted a photoshopped picture of Alfsson in a Nazi uniform on social media.[7]

In November 2018, the Sweden Democrats announced that they had removed Alfsson from the party's list for the 2018 Swedish general election|2018 election after he got into a heated dispute with members of the public on Facebook and wrote posts that were deemed abusive.[8] Alfsson initially defended the messages, arguing that he was reacting with the same language used by trolls who had left posts on the official Facebook page for the Sweden Democrats Kalmar County chapter.[9] However, the deputy leader of SD, Mattias Bäckström Johansson deemed Alfsson's posts as "unacceptable." Alfsson was subsequently expelled from the SD as a result of the Facebook dispute and a series of controversial blog posts he had made.

Since leaving politics, Alfsson has worked as an author and blogger.[10][11]
