{{Short description|Swedish politician (1863–1899)}} {{Verification|date=August 2022}}thumb|170px|right|Axel Danielsson {{distinguish|Axel Danielson}} '''Axel Danielsson''' (15 December 1863, Värmland – 30 December 1899, Elsterberg, Germany) was a Swedish socialist agitator, journalist and writer. He was a prominent leader of the early Swedish Social Democratic Party. Danielsson retranslated Karl Marx's ''The Communist Manifesto'' into Swedish in 1886.
Danielsson faced legal charges of blasphemy for a controversial article published in Hjalmar Branting's ''Social-Demokraten'': the legal process culminated in the conviction of both men. Imprisoned in 1888, Danielsson celebrated the event by composing a pamphlet on the labour theory of value while serving out his sentence.<ref name = "Steedman 105">{{cite book|last=Steedman|first=Ian|title=Socialism and Marginalism in Economics: 1870-1930|url=https://archive.org/details/socialismmargina00stee|url-access=limited|publisher=Routledge|year=1995|page=[https://archive.org/details/socialismmargina00stee/page/n113 105]|isbn=0-415-13079-4}}</ref> During his imprisonment, his paper was managed by his then fiancée and later wife, Elma Danielsson.
