Johan Kellgren Areskoug (18 August 1906 – 21 December 1996) was a Swedish sprinter. He competed in the Olympics in 1932 and 1936 and won a bronze medal at the 1938 European Championships in the 400 m hurdles.
At the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Areskoug competed in both the 400 m and the 400 m hurdles. In the 400 m he went out in the heats, but in the hurdles he qualified for the final, running his personal best time of 53.2 in the semi-finals. In the final, he only managed 54.6, finishing sixth and last. Four years later in Berlin, he only competed in the 400 m hurdles, failing to qualify from the heats.
Areskoug placed third in the 400 m hurdles at the 1938 European Championships in Paris, running 53.6 and losing only to Prudent Joye and József Kovács.[1]
