List of Swedish saints

Saint Birgitta

This list of Swedish saints includes all Christian saints with connections to Sweden, either because they were of Swedish origin and ethnicity or because they travelled to the Swedish people from their own homeland and became noted in their hagiography for their work. A small number may have had no Swedish connection in their lifetime, but have nonetheless become associated with Sweden through the depositing of their relics in Swedish religious houses in the Middle Ages. The list does not discriminate between Roman Catholic and Protestant saints.

Like many Europen nations, a number of saints were connected to the Royal Family but, unusually, a large number of Swedish saints were women.
