Hjem-IS (Denmark, Norway), Hemglass (Sweden) or Kotijäätelö (Finland), all meaning "Home Ice Cream", is a Northern European brand of ice cream. It is known for its distribution system, being delivered to people's homes by its light blue ice cream vans and selling ice creams by the box, in contrast to ice cream vans other places in the world.

Hemglass was originally founded by the Swedish Eric Ericsson in 1968 and later spread its activitites to other countries, establishing itself in Denmark in 1976, in Norway 1992 and Finland 1993. Today, the parent company, Hjem-IS Europa A/S, is headquartered in Esbjerg, Denmark. The group has been a subsidiary of Nestlé since 2002.
