Tobias Hysén (born March 9, 1982) is a Swedish football player who currently plays for Sunderland.

He is the son of former Liverpool player Glenn Hysén. He started his career with Lundby IF, but gained prominence with BK Häcken. He joined Djurgården in 2004 and signed a contract until 2008. He won Allsvenskan with Djurgården in 2005. On August 23, 2006 Tobias signed a deal to join Sunderland for £1.7 million.

Hysen had an immediate impact on his first start for the club against West Bromwich Albion, creating the second goal and generally impressing. Under Roy Keane however, Hysen has often been overlooked for the more pacy Ross Wallace. Despite this, Hysen scored his first goal for the club in a 1-1 draw with Leicester City at the Stadium of Light, just minutes after being brought on as a substitute. Coincidentally, he netted the opener in the Black Cats' 2-0 win at Leicester on New Year's Day 2007.
