Maurits Lindström (10 May 1932 – 14 November 2009) was a Swedish geologist and paleontologist.
Lindströms initial work was divided among two topics conodont paleontology and the structural geology of the Scandinavian Caledonides in Lappland.In 1970, he described the conodont families Cordylodontidae, Gondolellidae, Proconodontidae and Rhipidognathidae.
In 1971, he described the conodont genera Baltoniodus, Microzarkodina and Paracordylodus.
Lindström published conodont studies up to 1987 after which he only supervised students working with conodonts.In the late 1980s Lindström begun to study ancient impact craters in the Fennoscandian Shield.
His studies have confirmed earlier speculations that Tvären and Lockne are craters.
