The Jehovah's Witnesses in Sweden (Swedish: Jehovas vittnen i Sverige) is a branch of the international Jehovah's Witnesses organization, which is directed by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses in New York. The organization has been active in Sweden since 1909, or 1899. The Swedish branch had 23 thousand members in 1992, of which roughly one tenth were immigrants; immigrant members often conducted religious activities in other languages.
The Swedish branch maintained its headquarters in Arboga, before it moved to new Scandinavian headquarters in Holbaek, Denmark, in 2012.
