The Ambassador of Sweden to Czechoslovakia (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to Czechoslovakia) was the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Czechoslovakia and government of Czechoslovakia.
In September 1959, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and the Czechoslovak governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.[1]
