The Ambassador of Sweden to Poland (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Poland) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Poland and government of Poland.

History Sweden established diplomatic relations with Poland on 3 June 1919. Ivan Danielsson arrived in Warsaw in 1919 as Sweden's chargé d'affaires, while Cossva Anckarsvärd did not arrive until June 1920 as envoy. On 5 June 1919, the King in Council decided to recognize Poland as an independent and sovereign state.

In September 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Polish 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.
