Sven Aggesen (also known as Svend Aagesen, Aggessøn, or Aggesøn, in Latin Sveno Aggonis; born around 1140 to 1150, death unknown) was the author of Brevis historia regum Dacie, one of the first attempts to write a coherent history of Denmark covering the period 300-1185. Only the Chronicon Roskildense may precede Aggesen's efforts.
