Odenplan is a plaza located in the district Vasastaden in central Stockholm, Sweden, named after the old Norse god Oden. Odenplan is also the name of the subway station located here. It opened in 1952. In 2006 new construction work to expand the station was started, which is planned to be completed by 2011, making it one of Stockholm’s largest public transportation hubs.

Odenplan has been portrayed in the 1976 thriller film The Man on the Roof, in which a helicopter crashes in the plaza. It also appears in the opening credits to the 1999 film Vuxna människor.

Not far from Odenplan, Stockholm Public Library is located.
