"Jag och min far" is a song written and recorded by Olle Ljungström, and released as a single in 1997 as well as on his 1998 studio album Det stora kalaset. A music video was also directed.

Lyrically, it deals with memories from a son and his father, who has died, exchanging knowledge within different topics. The song is not autobiographical in a literal sense; Ljungström's father was alive at the time, although the two had been out of touch for several years.
