ISO 3166-2:SE is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Sweden (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is SE).
Currently 21 counties are assigned codes. Each code starts with SE-, followed by a letter (ordered roughly clockwise starting from Stockholm through southern Sweden to northern Sweden), with three exceptions (Stockholm, Västerbotten, and Norrbotten) which use two letters instead. This is the alphabetic code (länsbokstäv) of the county in Sweden, and was used in the vehicle registration plates of Sweden until 1973.

- Notes
- ^ Subdivision names are sorted in Swedish alphabetical order: a-z, å, ä, ö.
- ^ In the official standard, the numeric code (länskod) of each county used in Sweden is shown for information purposes in square brackets after the name of the county. However, these alternative code elements are not official ISO 3166-2 codes, since this part of ISO 3166 does not allow for duplicate coding of identical subdivisions.
