Sueca (meaning Swedish (female) in Portuguese) is a 4 player-partnership point trick-taking card game of the ace–ten family, and a popular variant of the Bisca card game. The game is played in Portugal, Brazil, Angola and other Portuguese communities. Its closest relative is the very similar German game Einwerfen.

Sueca is, by far, the most played game in Portugal. It is frequently known as the Portuguese national card game.
