Andrew L. Skoog (b. 1921) was an American translator and hymnologist associated with Swedish-American Protestant traditions. He contributed to the preservation and translation of Swedish hymns into English, facilitating their use in American churches with Scandinavian heritage. Skoog's work helped bridge linguistic and cultural gaps in immigrant religious communities during the mid-20th century. His translations maintained the theological depth and poetic qualities of original Swedish compositions while making them accessible to English-speaking congregations.
