Pehr Brandell, also known as Per, Petrus, and Petter, was a Swedish Lutheran priest known for his role in the 19th-century revivalist movement in Norrland.

Läsare or the Reader movement was a Swedish Pietistic Christian revival movement of people who stressed the importance of reading, that is, reading the Bible and other Christian literature. It was influenced by both the Herrnhuters and the Methodists and has been described by scholar George M. Stephenson as a "second religious reformation in Sweden".
