Nils Abraham Langlet (July 9 1868 - March 30 1936) was a Swedish chemist. Langlet was born in Södertälje. From 1886 to 1896, he studied chemistry under Per Teodor Cleve at Uppsala University, where he obtained a doctorate. In 1894 he gained the title of privatdocent, and in 1899 became lecturer in chemistry and chemical technology at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. In 1895, while working for Cleve, he was one of three chemists (the other two were Cleve and William Ramsay) who independently discovered helium in the mineral cleveite. He died in Gothenburg.
