Fascist People's Party of Sweden (in Swedish: Sveriges Fascistiska Folkparti) was a political party in Sweden. It was founded on September 3, 1926, by a circle around the publication Nationen. Its cadre was made up of members of the Fascist Struggle Organisation of Sweden.
Konrad Hallgren, a former German officer, became the leader of the party. Other important members included Corporal Sven Olov Lindholm and Lieutenant Sven Hedengren.
In 1929 a delegation of the party including Hallgren and Lindholm attended the Parteitag of NSDAP in Nuremberg. After the return from Germany the party changed its name to National Socialist People's Party of Sweden (Sveriges Nationalsocialistiska Folkparti).
In 1930 the party merged with the Swedish National Socialist Peasants and Workers Party to form the Swedish National Socialist Party.

“Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Men conceive themselves as morally superior to those with whom they differ in opinion. A Socialist who thinks that the opinions of Mr. Gladstone on Socialism are unsound and his own sound, is within his rights; but a Socialist who thinks that his opinions are virtuous and Mr. Gladstone’s vicious, violates the first rule of morals and manners in a Democratic country; namely, that you must not treat your political opponent as a moral delinquent.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Hard work. Well, that’s all right for people who don’t know how to do anything else. It’s all right for people who aren’t lucky. But once you’re lucky, you don’t have to work for other people. You make them work for you.”
—Dan Totheroh (1895–1976)
“Fiddle-dee-dee! War, war, war. This war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn’t going to be any war.”
—Sidney Howard (1891–1939)
