The Ambassador of Sweden to Thailand (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Kingdom of Thailand) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the monarch of Thailand and government of Thailand.

History Diplomatic relations between Sweden and Thailand were established in 1868. Between 1931 and 1959, Sweden had a non-resident envoy accredited to Thailand from Japan and China. In July 1959, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Thai governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. In connection with this, Tord Hagen was appointed Sweden's first resident ambassador in Bangkok.
