The Swedish Air Force Museum (in Swedish Flygvapenmuseum) is located near Linköping, Sweden. Airplanes from the early part of the 20th century to the contemporary Saab 39 Gripen (JAS39) are displayed in the museum.

It also hosts a Saab 39 Gripen simulator.

The Museum is located at Malmen, just outside the town of Linköping, where Baron Carl Cederström, nicknamed the "Flyer Baron" founded his flying school in 1912. Together with the Swedish Army Museum (Armémuseum) in Stockholm, it constitutes the government agency Statens försvarshistoriska museer ("Swedish Museums of the Defence Forces").
