Carl-Göran "Lill-Stöveln" Öberg (born 24 December 1938) is a retired ice hockey player who won silver medals at the 1964 Winter Olympics and 1963 and 1967 world championships. He was nicknamed Lill-Stöveln (Little Stöveln) after his elder brother, the Olympic ice hockey player Hans "Stöveln" Öberg.

During a game versus Canada in ice hockey at the 1964 Winter Olympics, Öberg broke his stick and tossed it aside. The broken end of the stick went towards the Canadian players' bench, where it struck their coach Father David Bauer in the face and opened a bleeding wound. Bauer demanded for his players to remain on the bench and not retaliate. Bauer forgave Öberg and extended an invitation to sit together at the game between the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia.

Öberg played bandy with Djurgårdens IF Bandy 1961–62.
