Jan Töve (born May 14, 1958) is a Swedish landscape photographer, writer and lecturer.
Töve has won several awards in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, owned by BBC Wildlife and The Natural History Museum, and beside his publicist's work shot a documentary for the Swedish State Television.
In 1995 he was awarded the title Årets nordiska naturfotograf (Nordic Photographer of the Year) by the Swedish photography magazine Foto. Several years later he was also awarded the Årets naturfotograf 2003 (Nature Photographer of the Year, 2003) by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. His first book, Speglingar (Reflections), was published in 1996 and depicts various seasonal changes in the nature.
Töve seeks to depict the border country between nature, people and society, as expressed in his latest books, Riverside (2007), Silent Landscape (2012), Faraway Nearby (Hatje Cantz 2017), and Night Light (self-published, 2020).
