Bengt Knut Erik af Klintberg (b.
25 December 1938 in
Stockholm) is a
Swedish ethnologist who has become known for his work on modern
urban legends and reached a large audience with his books
Råttan i pizzan ("The Rat in the Pizza", first edition published in 1986) and

Klintberg was also co-host (with

Oral traditions") a long-running
radio show, which encouraged listeners to write letters describing or asking questions about the origin or significance of local legends, games, customs or other
folklore. After 750 weekly installations on
Swedish national public radio channel
P1, the last in the series was broadcast in January 2005.
A now common Swedish word for urban legend,
klintbergare ("klintberger"), has been coined after him.
