Johan Gustaf Henrik Helin or Gustaf Helin (born 1881 in Fritsla, Älvsborg County) was a Swedish businessman, industrialist and estate-lord. He was the seventh patriarch of the Helin family.

Biography Johan Gustaf Henrik Helin (1881-) was the eldest son of Johan Gustaf Helin and Maria Augusta Svensson.

In 1904, Gustaf Helin was appointed chairman of Spirit Factory Petterberg PR Borås. The CEO at the time, Victor Theodor Engwall, was Gustaf's mentor in business.

From 1906 to 1909, the Helin family’s spirit factory expanded into vines, brandy and other liquors, which at the time was harder to produce. The factory had to expand its operations due to heavy liquor restrictions and increased taxation during the early 20th century.

Subsequent to Johan Gustaf Henrik Helin's father, Johan Gustaf Helin, dying, he inherited the family fortune. Gustaf Helin relocated to Stockholm and married Anna Maria Eklund. The couple had one child Bo Henrik Gustaf Helin. In Stockholm, Gustaf Helin was noted as an industrialist, estate mogul and landlord.
