The Taipei Mission in Sweden; (Chinese: 駐瑞典台北代表團; pinyin: Zhù Ruìdiǎn Táiběi Dàibiǎo Tuán) represents the interests of Taiwan in Sweden in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy. Its counterpart in Taiwan is the Swedish Trade and Invest Council in Taipei.
Sweden established official diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1950, which required the Swedish government to dissociate with the Kuomintang leadership in Taiwan.
The Taipei Mission was established as the Taipei Trade, Tourism and Information Office in 1981 and renamed to Taipei Mission in Sweden in 1994.
