Åke Henriksson Tott (or Achatius Tott; 4 June 1598 – 14 July 1640) was a Swedish nobleman, soldier and politician. His estates included Ekolsund in Sweden, Sjundby in Finland, Polchow in Swedish Pomerania and Lihula in Swedish Livonia.

He was born in Lohja to Princess Sigrid of Sweden and nobleman Henrik Klasson Tott. He was appointed Privy Councilor in 1630, and Field Marshal in 1631.
