Marabou is a Swedish chocolate brand with factories in Upplands Väsby north of Stockholm.

The company was founded in 1916 by the Norwegian chocolatier Johan Throne Holst (1868-1946) who had great success with the Freia brand in Norway.

Freia and Marabou later merged, and, in 1993, were purchased by Kraft Foods for 3 billion Norwegian krone. Marabou chocolate is available in a number of European countries.
