Lennart Johanssons Pokal is a trophy awarded annually by the Swedish Football Association to the football club that wins Allsvenskan, Sweden's highest football league. The winner of Allsvenskan is named Swedish champion of football.

The trophy was introduced in 2001 after it had become known that Clarence von Rosen, the man after which the previous trophy was named, had nazi sympathies during the 1930s. The first club to lift the trophy was Hammarby IF in 2001 and most recently Malmö FF in 2016. Malmö FF is the club to have lifted the trophy the most times, having lifted it in 2004, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2016.

The trophy is made of silver and has a football mounted on a socle with two large handles on each side of the socle. The trophy was designed by Anja Nibbler Kothe and was inspired by a trophy that the Sweden national football team had been awarded for winning the gold medal at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. The trophy is named after Lennart Johansson, chairman of UEFA between 1990 and 2007. The thought behind the trophy was to connect the biggest trophy a Swedish club could win with the biggest Swedish football leader.
