Sleipnir is a Japanese tabbed web browser, released by Fenrir & Co. The browser is known for its high level of user customization. The newest version of the browser is Sleipnir 2.30. An English version is also available.

It was originally developed as Sleipnir version 1.x by Yasuyuki Kashiwagi, who is now the president of Fenrir & Co, but in November 2004, he had his computer with Sleipnir's source code stolen^[1]. In 2005, he established Fenrir & Co. for the purpose of restarting development of Sleipnir as version 2.x, which has no compatibility with version 1.x.

The browser's layout engine can be changed to either Internet Explorer's Trident or Mozilla's Gecko.

Sleipnir is used widely in Japan^{[citation needed]}.
