Swedish Pavilion is an historic site at Mill Street in Lindsborg, Kansas.

Designed by Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg, the Pavilion was built as an international exposition building for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. After the fair, the Pavilion was moved to Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, where it was used for classroom, library, museum and department facilities for the art department.[2]

The Swedish Pavilion was moved to the McPherson County Old Mill Museum, also in Lindsborg, in 1969. The facility is used for cultural heritage events at the museum.

The Pavilion was added to the National Historic Register in 1973.

During the royal visit of Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf to the United States in 1976, he toured the Swedish Pavilion as part of festivities in Lindsborg.[3]
