Gunder Olson (September 8, 1852 - December 11, 1948) was a North Dakota public servant and politician with the Republican Party. He served as the North Dakota State Treasurer from 1911 to 1914. He did not seek re-election to another term since Treasurers were not permitted to serve more than two consecutive terms. [North Dakota Blue Book, 2005]
