Karl Gustaf Wilhelm Dyrsch (28 August 1890 – 7 May 1974) was a Swedish Army officer and horse rider who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics.[1] He and his horse Salamis were part of the Swedish team that won the gold medal in eventing. However, Dyrsch did not receive a medal as he failed to complete his individual routine.[2][3]

Dyrsch was a career military officer holding the rank of lieutenant colonel in 1947.[4]
