Macken (Swedish slang for The Filling Station) was a Swedish six-part musical sitcom that ran on SVT in 1986. It was produced by Galenskaparna och After Shave and was a major breakthrough for the group. The programmes were built up from a series of sketches, sometimes with comedy or satirical elements.

Some of the songs from the show became hits on Svensktoppen, and the series was adapted into a 1990 film, Macken – Roy's & Roger's Bilservice. The series was also adapted to a play, Macken – TV-serien på scen, in 2016.
