The Swedish Sailors and Coalers Union (Template:Lang-sv) was a trade union in Sweden. It was the first viable maritime union in the country (following a short-lived Seamen and Coalers Trade Union founded in Göteborg in 1884). Charles Lindley was the main organizer of the union. Its Göteborg branch was founded in 1899.[1]

The union published the monthly magazine Sjöfolkets tidning.[2]

The union was dissolved in 1914 as it was bifurcated into two separate unions, the Sailors Union and the Coalers Union.[1]
