Oscar Möller (born 22 January 1989) is a Swedish professional ice hockey right winger who currently plays for Skellefteå AIK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).
Möller began his junior hockey career in his native Sweden with Spånga IF IK and Djurgårdens IF. He moved to North America for his draft year in 2006–07 to play major junior in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Chilliwack Bruins.
Producing at a point-per-game pace with 69 points in 68 games, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the second round, 52nd overall, of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He returned to the Bruins for one more season and improved to 83 points, earning him a spot on the WHL West First All-Star Team. In the off-season, on 22 April 2008, the Los Angeles Kings signed Möller to a three-year, entry-level contract.
He began playing with the Kings in 2008–09 and scored his first career NHL goal on 20 October 2008 against Peter Budaj in a 4–3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Midway through his rookie season, the Kings lent him to Team Sweden for the 2009 World Junior Championships. However, Möller fractured his clavicle during the tournament and was unable to make an immediate return to the Kings' lineup.
On 19 May 2011, after completing his entry-level contract with the Kings and with his NHL rights still retained, Möller signed a two-year contract to return to Sweden with Skellefteå AIK of the Elitserien. Möller scored his first Elitserien goal in the league premier against Färjestads BK on 15 September 2011.
