Gunerius Pettersen (4 June 1921 – 6 May 2012), also known as Gun Pettersen, was a Norwegian businessperson.

He was born at the islet Lille Herbern, and grew up in Frogner.[1] He was a grandson of merchant Axel Pettersen, who owned the company Gunerius Pettersen A/S (now: Gunerius Shoppingsenter). Axel owned the company, which was founded by Gunerius Pettersen, together with Harald, Gunerius and Carl Pettersen who were all Gunerius Pettersen's granduncles. A fourth granduncle was Hjalmar Pettersen, the noted a librarian and bibliographer.[2][3]

Pettersen attended Oslo Commerce School and took higher education in St. Gallen. He inherited the family company in 1947,[4] and owned it for some time together with Hjalmar's son Christian Børs Pettersen.[2] Later, his own brother Axel Gunerius Pettersen replaced Christian Børs Pettersen as co-owner. In their time, the family company was expanded from operating a shopping centre to additional ownerships, such as the chain Bonus.[1] Pettersen also served as consul for Bolivia.[4]

He was an active yacht racer. Pettersen was chairman of the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club, as well as founder and board member of the Norwegian Sailing Federation.[1][4][5] He died on 6 May 2012, at the age of 90.[6]
