# List of Swedish regiments

This is a list of Swedish regiments. Most formations have changed names several times during their existence. Listed here are commonly used names.
Regiments were the highest organized organic units in the Swedish Army from the time of Gustavus Adolphus on to the Second World War. In 1949, the Swedish Army was reorganised, with the regiments being used as training units for conscripts during peacetime. The new main fighting unit was the brigade, only organised in wartime (with a few exceptions). The division (fördelning) is not a static organization, but can have brigades assigned and removed when needed, similar to other countries' corps formations.
Regiments are most commonly used in the context of the Swedish Army with the exception of the coastal artillery and naval infantry which belongs to the Swedish Navy.

## Grand regiments

Storregementen or landsregementen (regiments of the land), these regiments were organized by Gustavus Adolphus in the end of the 1610s from the smaller units fänika and fana raised in the various parts of Sweden during the time of Gustav Vasa:
* Norrlands storregemente (Norrland Grand Regiment)
* Upplands storregemente (Uppland Grand Regiment)
* Södermanlands storregemente (Södermanland Grand Regiment)
* Östergötlands storregemente (Östergötland Grand Regiment)
* Västergötlands storregemente (Västergötland Grand Regiment)
* Smålands storregemente (Småland Grand Regiment)
* Finlands storregemente (Österbotten Grand Regiment)
* Karelska storregementet (Karelian Grand Regiment)
* Västra Finlands storregemente (Western Finland Grand Regiment)
* Mellersta Finlands storregemente (Middle Finland Grand Regiment)
* Östra Finlands storregementet (Eastern Finland Grand Regiment)

## Historical regiments

The original provincial regiments (landskapsregementen) were raised by splitting the old grand regiments, forming 20 infantry (actually 21 as Smålands regemente was split into Kronobergs and Jönköpings regemente) and eight cavalry regiments as written in the Swedish constitution of 1634. As time went on, new regiments were raised by conscription, created by splitting old regiments or enlisting soldiers from various dominions of Sweden. There were also times when temporary regiments were raised; these regiments were called männingsregementen.
