The 1981 Swedish motorcycle Grand Prix was the thirteenth round of the 1981 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place on the weekend of 14–16 August 1981 at the Scandinavian Raceway in Anderstorp, Sweden.

This would prove to be 2-time 500cc world champion Barry Sheene's last victory in the premier class, as well as his 7th Anderstorp victory, a record he still holds as of 2022.
