For your consideration! This is intended as a general list for the most well known Swedes, already having (or deserving) their own articles on Misplaced Pages. This means that although individuals may have their own articles, they may not necessarily fit on the general list. The first place to look for the entry of a name is many times found in a sub list. Some notable individuals may not fit any of the given categories and may be placed under "other notables".
