Tapetskolan vid Karlberg ('Karlberg Tapestry School') or Tapetväfveriet vid Karlbergs slott ('Karlberg Tapestry Weaver's Workshop'), also called Karlbergsfabriken ('Karlberg Factory'), was a Swedish orphanage and a school for girls founded by the Swedish queen Ulrika Eleonora of Denmark, situated at the royal Karlberg Palace and active from 1688 to 1695. The school of the orphanage is known for the tapestry workshop in which the girls manufactured tapestries, many of which are still preserved in the Kungliga Husgerådskammaren ('Royal Household Storage').
