Statsfru ("Lady of the State") is an office at the Royal Court of Sweden. The title has been used for two different offices during the course of history. Originally created in 1774, the office was given to several individuals, and simply the title of a married lady-in-waiting in rank between the överhovmästarinna and the kammarfröken. This function disappeared after 1965. From 1994 onward, the title Statsfru has been used by the senior lady-in-waiting of the queen.
