Joakim Nyström (born February 20, 1963 in Skellefteå, Sweden) is a former top ten ranked tennis player from Sweden, who won thirteen singles titles during his professional career. The right-hander reached his highest singles ranking on the ATP Tour on March 31, 1986, when he became the number seven of the world and was also ranked as high as four in doubles that same year.

He was a singles quarter-finalist in both the French Open (1985) and U.S. Open (1985 & 1986) tournaments, the 1986 Wimbledon doubles champion with Mats Wilander, and a member of the winning 1985 & 1987 Davis Cup team from Sweden. He qualified for the ATP Masters year-end singles tournament in 1984, 1985 & 1986.

Nystrom was part of the generation of outstanding Swedish players in the 1980s and early 1990s who were inspired by Swedish legend, Bjorn Borg, which included Anders Jarryd, Jonas Svensson, Mikael Pernfors, Kent Carlsson, Stefan Edberg, and Mats Wilander.
