The 13th Army Division (Swedish: 13. Arméfördelningen), also known as the Southern Army Division or unofficially as the Armoured Division, was a division of the Swedish Army that existed from 1941 until 2000. The division headquarters was located in Skövde, Västergötland and later in Kristianstad, Scania. The unit was disbanded as a result of the disarmament policies set forward in the Defence Act of 2000.
