The 2024 FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Sweden was the fifth round of the 2024 Speedway Grand Prix season (the World Championship of speedway). It took place on 15 June 2024 at the Skrotfrag Arena in Målilla, Sweden.[1]

The event was won by Bartosz Zmarzlik (his 24th career Grand Prix win).[2] By winning the 2024 Grand Prix of Sweden, Zmarzlik broke Jason Crump's all-time record of 23 Grand Prix wins, although ten of them were won on home soil, whereas Crump's were all outside of Australia.[3]

The event was subject to a two-hour delay following heavy rain. As a consequence riders starting on the outside gate (yellow helmet) only won two heats.[4]
