Carl Gunnar Feilberg (October 22, 1894 – January 6, 1972) was a Danish geographer, ethnographer and explorer of Asia. He was a professor of human geography at the University of Copenhagen, known for his ethnographic fieldwork among the Lur pastoralists in Luristan, Iran. His research focused on nomadism and material culture, particularly the structure and distribution of black tents.
