This is a list of student nations at Lund University in Sweden. The tradition of nations at the university is practically as old as the university itself.
The list is always sorted in accordance with a time-honoured order based on the age of the diocese of the area that the nation was named after. The reason for this was that almost all students earlier came from gymnasiums, and these were only found in diocesan capitals.
