Strängnäs es una ciudad y sede administrativa del municipio homónimo y la provincia de Södermanland, en Suecia. Está situada en la ribera sur del lago Mälaren, entre las ciudades de Eskilstuna y Södertälje. Importante en la historia de Suecia por el misionero San Eskil, quien murió lapidado en 1080 por los paganos svear o suiones que habitaban el lugar, lo que lo convirtió en mártir.
