Karl Bertil Emanuel Nordahl (26 July 1917 – 1 December 1998) was a Swedish footballer and manager. As a player, he played for Hörnefors IF, Degerfors IF and Atalanta B.C. between 1936 and 1952.[1][3] As a manager, he coached Örebro SK and IK Brage.[4]

He was capped 15 times for Sweden, and played for them at the 1948 Summer Olympics, where he won a gold medal.[1] He was not part of the country's 1950 FIFA World Cup team because of Sweden's rules on only using amateur players, while the Italian Serie A was a professional league.[5]

He was the brother of Swedish international footballers Knut and Gunnar Nordahl.[1]
