Wingård (Danish: Wingaard, German: Wyngarthener), is a Danish-Swedish family of German origin from Stuttgart, Duchy of Württemberg, Holy Roman Empire. Hans Wyngarthener (circa 1500-1559) emigrated and settled the first printing press in Denmark in the 16th century. His great-grandson Anders Nielsen Wingaard (circa 1600-1649) relocated to Sweden as the fourth Lutheran Vicar in Krokstad parish, Diocese of Gothenburg, in Bohuslän. His great-great-great-greatson Carl Fredrik was ennobled af Wingård (n:o 2159) in 1799 on the merits of his father during the reign of King Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden.
