Magnus Daniel Stenberg is a Swedish developer and recipient of the 2017 Polhem Prize (for a high-level technological innovation or an ingenious solution to a technical problem)[4][5] for his work on the cURL utility.

Stenberg was born and raised in Huddinge, a suburb south of Sweden's capital Stockholm. He created the utility which, after various name and license changes, became known as cURL which is available under the cURL License (based on the MIT License.[6])

From 2013 to 2018, he worked for Mozilla.[7] In February 2019, Stenberg joined wolfSSL[8] to offer commercial support for cURL and to work on cURL as full-time as possible.[9] He is active in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), a member of the working groups for the HTTP/2 and QUIC network protocols,[10] and contributed to several technical Requests for Comments (RFCs).[11]

In April 2023, he became a member of the Polhemsrådet, the Polhem Prize's committee.[12]
