Svenskt biografiskt lexikon

Svenskt biografiskt lexikon (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈsvɛnːskt bɪʊˈɡrɑ̌ːfɪskt ˈlɛ̌ksɪkɔn], abbreviated SBL), in English Dictionary of Swedish National Biography, is a Swedish biographical dictionary, started in 1917.[1] The first volume, covering names Abelin to Anjou, was published in 1918. As of 2026, names from A to S are covered in the published volumes.

Fewer than 10% of the entries are about women, prompting a related project focused on women (the National Biographical Dictionary of Swedish Women, Svenskt Kvinnobiografiskt lexikon [SKBL]).[1]
