'''''The Tale of Styrbjörn, Champion of the Swedes''''' (''Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa'') is an [[The Icelandic Sagas|Icelandic short tale]] found in the [[wikipedia:Flatey Book|Flatey Book]] (c. 1390). It is quite short and likely a condensed abstract of a saga which is unfortunately lost. The same story is referred to in various other [[The Icelandic Sagas|Icelandic sagas]] and is also told somewhat differently in Saxo Grammaticus’ ''Danish History''.
