Statens Järnvägar, or Swedish State Railways, originally Kungl. Järnvägsstyrelsen, or the Royal Railway Board, was a former enterprise agency of the Swedish government. It was disbanded in 2001, and the assets were transferred to six separate government-owned limited companies:
- SJ, the passenger train operator
- Green Cargo, which operates freight trains
- Jernhusen, real estate
- EuroMaint, train maintenance
- Unigrid, information technology
- TraffiCare, which provides terminal services, e.g. train cleaning and switching
