The Romani people of Sweden (Swedish: Romer i Sverige) are one of the oldest ethnic minorities in the country.
Around 25,000 Romani people that live in Sweden are descended from a wave of Romani migration to Sweden in the early 16th century. The rest of the Swedish Roma population originated from several Romani subsequent groups arriving since the early twentieth century. Romani people are one of five recognized minorities in Sweden. The Romani language is also officially recognised as a minority language in Sweden. Despite this recognition in Sweden, the Roma remain one of the most marginalized communities in the country. Romani people have been discriminated in Sweden since at least the 20th century, and today they often face harassment and violence by Swedes and by other minority groups in Sweden.
The first evidence of Roma presence dates back to 1512, when thirty Romani families arrived in Stockholm from Helsinki, Finland. Precise dates of Romani presence in Sweden are found in the Swedish Chronicle of Olaus Petri.
The Council of Europe has estimated that approximately 42,500 Romani people live in Sweden (0.46% of the population).
Radio Sweden and the Swedish Television Network are broadcasting programs in the Romani language in Sweden.
Swedish Roma live mainly in Malmö, Stockholm and Gothenburg.
