Storlien is a village and ski resort in the Åre municipality, in Jämtland, Sweden, a kilometre from the Swedish-Norwegian border.

The village has only 78 permanent inhabitants. The work opportunities are based on tourism and shopping. Most tourists are Norwegians or Swedes. Shopping tourists arrive from Norway all the year. There are several shops.

It is a popular resort for cross-country and alpine skiing, mostly by Norwegian tourists. The Swedish royal family has a house in Storlien, where they usually celebrate Easter. Storlien's ski area consists of 9 lifts and 23 slopes. However, the fall-height is only 190 metres, and consequently the slopes are quite short, in comparison to nearby Duved and Åre. There are 3 children's areas, and Friday night's evening skiing on a lit slalom slope.

The Storlien station is 600 metres above sea level, from which one can take an overnight train to Göteborg, Stockholm and Malmö during most of the year. The closest airports are Trondheim Airport, Værnes, 70 km to the west, across the Norwegian border, and Åre Östersund Airport about 150 km to the east. The E14 highway passes though Storlien.

Storlien is mentioned in The Boys From Brazil.
