Gustaf Adlerfelt (1671 - July 8, 1709), was a Swedish historical writer born near Stockholm, brother of Pehr Adlerfelt.
He was appointed by Charles XII "gentleman of the court" and afterwards accompanied him to his military campaigns, and writing a journal on them. He continues this work until his death in 1709 when he was killed by a cannon-ball in the battle of Pultowa.
