Gustaf Dalén (1869–1937) was a Swedish engineer and inventor, best known for his work in the field of lighthouse technology and automatic signaling. He made significant contributions to the development of optical devices, particularly the AGA lamp, which improved the efficiency of lighthouses and helped transform maritime navigation. Dalén's inventions included the sun valve, a device that automatically adjusted the intensity of a lighthouse's light based on sunlight.
