This is a list of Swedish princesses from the accession of Gustaf I, from the House of Vasa, and continues through the Houses of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, Holstein-Gottorp and Bernadotte.
An individual holding the title of "princess of Sweden" would usually also be styled Her Royal Highness. However, three of the four sisters of Carl XVI Gustaf, lost this style upon their marriages to commoners though retained their titles as a courtesy. Additionally, on 7 October 2019, Carl XVI Gustaf issued a decree limiting the style of Royal Highness to his children and his heir's heirs, though allowing his granddaughters who lost the style through this decree to retain their titles, duchies and place in the line of succession.
