HMS Småland (J19) is a Swedish Halland-class destroyer. She and HMS Halland were the only ones built of their class. Two more ships were ordered but they were never completed.
She was decommissioned in 1979, and since 1987 has been a museum ship in the Gothenburg maritime center where she is the largest vessel on display.
