Young Swedes (Swedish: Ungsvenskarna [ˈɵ̂ŋˌsvɛnskaɳa ɛsdeːˈʉː] ) have been the youth section within the Sweden Democrats since 1 October 2015. National spokesperson since October 2024 is Denice Westerberg. According to Jimmie Åkesson, the party leader of the Sweden Democrats, the wing's main goal is to "attract young people to vote for the party". The section itself says that its main task is to "prepare young people to become future Sweden Democratic politicians." They use Engelbrektsbågen as a symbol and describes itself as democratic and socially conservative with a nationalist outlook.

Unlike the former youth section Sweden Democratic Youth, the Young Swedes requires that its members are also card carrying members of the Sweden Democrats and follow the party's rules on conduct and political communication. The minimum age for membership in the section is 13 years. A difference compared to the other youth section in Sweden is that the delegates to the Young Swedes congresses are not elected by the sections members, instead being appointed by its national board.
