Egon Roolaid was an Estonian freestyle swimmer. He competed in the 100 m event at the 1936 Summer Olympics, alongside his brother Boris, but failed to reach the final.
Roolaid took up swimming in 1932, and between 1934 and 1940 won 19 national titles. In 1941 both brothers were sent to Soviet labor camps, where they died in 1942–43. Egon was rehabilitated in 1989.
