List of ambassadors of Sweden to Norway

The Ambassador of Sweden to Norway (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Kingdom of Norway) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the monarch and government of Norway.

History Sweden's first minister in Norway, Ernst Günther, was appointed in November 1905 after the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in June of the same year. The consulate general established for Norway after the dissolution of the union was entrusted to the King in Council's minister in Norway.

In 1947, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Norwegian 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. On 21 September of the same year, Baron Johan Beck-Friis took office as Sweden's first ambassador in modern times.
