The Swedish colonization of the Americas consisted of a 17th century settlement on the Delaware River in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and possessions in the Caribbean during the 18th and 19th century.

It may be noted, that Finland until 1809 was the eastern third of Sweden, and that a great deal of the Swedish settlers had Finnish mother tongue and/or came from present-day Finland.
