List of ambassadors of Sweden to Greece

The Ambassador of Sweden to Greece (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Hellenic Republic) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Greece and government of Greece.

History
Sweden has had diplomatic relations with Greece since 1833. The first Swedish minister to Greece was Einar af Wirsén in 1921. He held a dual accreditation and was posted to the Swedish legation in Bucharest, Romania.

Knut Richard Thyberg was the first resident Swedish minister in Greece. He arrived in August 1944. As the Germans did not permit any foreign diplomatic representatives, Minister Thyberg initially held the title of Swedish consul general and only gained full diplomatic status after Greece's liberation and the Germans' withdrawal in October 1944.

In May 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Greek governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.
