Nyboda depot (in Swedish: Nybodadepån or Nybodahallen) is a garage/depot for subway trains and buses of Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), located in Liljeholmen, Stockholm Municipality, along Hägerstensvägen and under Essingeleden. Nybodadepån is connected with Liljeholmen metro station via a bridge over Hägerstensvägen and a tunnel in the mountain under Nybohov [sv].

Nybodadepån started operations for buses and trams in 1945, then called Brännkyrkahallen. 1963–64,[1] it was rebuilt to be adapted for the cars of Stockholm Metro. It could house 30 railway cars on four tracks in a bus garage and another 64 on four tracks in two rock tunnels.[1] 2001–2002, it was rebuilt to be adapted for the new C20 metro cars and was further upgraded to C30s in 2019.[2]

Around 100 persons are employed at the depot, which is one of five depots serving the Stockholm metro system.[3][4]
