Lars Filip Hammar (born March 26, 1975) and Fredrik Wikingsson (born August 16, 1973), commonly known as Filip och Fredrik, are two Swedish writers, television hosts and journalists both known for their youthful, though intellectual, humor and unconventional journalism. Since 2002, Filip and Fredrik have produced eleven different TV shows together and, in the aftermath of the shows' successes in Sweden, written books. The duo owns, and works within, the company "Framgångsfabriken" (The Success Factory), which started in 2001 and takes credit for their media appearances. In 2024, they released their film The Last Journey, becoming the highest-grossing Swedish documentary in history,[1] later it was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.[2]

The pair have had their sexuality questioned repeatedly by the people they interact with on camera. Although they are heterosexual, jokes about their would-be gay relationship have become a running gag.
