This is a list of islands of Sweden. A 2013 statistics report concluded that there are 267,570 islands in Sweden, though less than 1,000 of these are inhabited. The total area of the islands is 1.2 million hectares, which corresponds to 3% percent of the total land area of Sweden. Most of the islands are in the Baltic Sea regions of the Bay of Bothnia and the Bothnian Sea.
