Bedoirsgränd (Swedish: "Alley of Bedoir") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden.

The alley is named after the merchant Jean Bedoire the Younger (1683-1753) who for some time ruled the Swedish salt market and owned the block north of the alley. The name first appears on a map dated 1733. The alley is mentioned in 1581 as Lille Brynhilz grändh ("Smaller Alley of Bryniel").[1]
