The Alliance (Swedish: Alliansen), formerly the Alliance for Sweden (Allians för Sverige), is a centre-right political alliance in Sweden.

The Alliance consists of the four centre-right political parties in the Riksdag. The Alliance was formed while in opposition, and later achieved a majority government in the 2006 general election and a minority government in the 2010 general election, governing Sweden from 2006 to 2014 with Fredrik Reinfeldt of the Moderate Party serving as Prime Minister of Sweden until the 2014 general election.
