Expressen is a Swedish centre-right tabloid newspaper founded in 1944. It describes its editorial position as "independent liberal".

The first edition was released in November 16 1944. A main feature that day was an interview with the crew members of a British bomber who were successful in sinking the German ship Tirpitz.

The paper received much negative attention in the end of 2005 for an article falsely accusing Swedish actor Mikael Persbrandt of severe alcoholism. It attested that Persbrandt had been forcibly committed to an alcohol-detoxification program. The claim later proved to be completely untrue. After the incident, editor-in-chief Otto Sjöberg offered a public apology directed to Persbrandt, and admitted that the article had been a product of "bad journalist practice".

In March 2006, Sjöberg made the controversial decision to publish the name and photograph of a suspected serial rapist, Hagamannen, the day after his arrest, thereby violating the common practice for Swedish media to withhold personal details of suspected criminals pending a court conviction. The decision was criticised by, among others, the lead investigator of the case, since it risked damaging the use of a police line-up as evidence for the instances where the suspected rapist had not left any trace evidence on the victim.
