The Swedish Museum of Natural History (), in Stockholm, is one of two major museums of natural history in Sweden,

The museum was founded in 1819 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, but goes back to the collections acquired mostly through donations by the academy since its foundation in 1739. These collections had first been made available to the public in 1786. The museum was separated from the Academy in 1965.

One of the keepers of the collections of the academy during its earlier history was Anders Sparrman, a student of Carl Linnaeus and participant in the voyages of Captain James Cook.{{cite encyclopedia | last=Nyberg| first=Kenneth | title =Anders Sparrman | encyclopedia =Svenskt biografiskt lexikon National Archives of Sweden | year =2007–2011
