The Swedish Ice Hockey Association (SIHA) or Svenska Ishockeyförbundet in Swedish, is an association of Swedish sports clubs with ice hockey activities.
SIHA was part of the Swedish Football Association but became an association of its own in November 17, 1922. In 1920 SIHA became a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Apart from hockey, also inline hockey is the province of SIHA.
The association's general secretary currently is Michael Englund.
