Landet runt (Swedish for "around the country") is a Swedish news programme broadcast by Sveriges Television. It covers current affairs from all over the country by using a compilation of reports from the regional news programs of SVT.

It is broadcast on SVT1 from Gothenburg at 18.15 on Sundays. It is a sister programme to Sverige idag which is broadcast from Umeå on SVT1 on weekday evenings.

The program was presented by Larz-Thure Ljungdahl from the start until 2000, later by Henrik Kruusval from 2010 and into the 2020s. Wrote Aftonbladet, "For 36 years 'Landet runt' has delivered the antithesis to war around the world, Nato accession, gang violence and illegal mounts of [discarded] clothing in Western Africa".[1]
