The Ambassador of Sweden to the Solomon Islands (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Solomon Islands) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the governor-general of Solomon Islands and government of the Solomon Islands. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Honiara, Sweden's ambassador to the Solomon Islands is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Sweden and the Solomon Islands established diplomatic relations on 24 October 1979.[1] In the same year, Sweden's ambassador in Canberra, Australia, was also accredited to Honiara.[2] The Swedish ambassador to the Solomon Islands has over the years been stationed alternately in Canberra and Stockholm.
As of 2025, the post of Swedish ambassador to the Solomon Islands is again held by a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large, who is also ambassador to 10 other countries in Oceania.[3]
