Frans Hugo Ärnfast (2 June 1908 – 11 July 1965) was a Swedish diplomat. Ärnfast began his career working at the Swedish Dairies' Association and the Swedish Farmers' Meat Marketing Association before joining the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in 1937. He served in Berlin, Riga, and Prague before becoming a second secretary in 1941. During the final days of World War II, Ärnfast stayed in war-torn Berlin, helping fellow Swedes in the chaotic aftermath of the Battle of Berlin. He later held diplomatic roles in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Wellington, and Karachi, eventually becoming ambassador to Bogotá in 1964. Ärnfast died in a drowning accident near Bogotá on 11 July 1965, after being swept away by strong currents while on a trip to a mountain village.
