Ardre (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɑ̂ːɖrɛ])[3] is a populated area, a socken (not to be confused with parish), on the Swedish island of Gotland.[4] It comprises the same area as the administrative Ardre District, established on 1 January 2016.[5] It is most noted for the Viking Ardre image stones found under the floor boards of the Ardre Church.[6]
