Halsten Stenkilsson (English exonym: Alstan;[1][2] Old Icelandic: Hallstein[3]) was King of Sweden from c. 1067 - 1070. The son of King Stenkil and a Swedish princess, he became king some time after his father's death (1066), and he may have ruled together with his brother Inge the Elder.[4][5][6] The date of his death is not known.[5]
