The Swedish Rail Administration (Swedish: Banverket) was a Swedish State administrative authority which acted as owner on behalf of the State and maintained virtually all main railway lines in Sweden; except for short sidings for freight, heritage railways, the Stockholm Metro, local railways in the Stockholm area (Roslagsbanan & Saltsjöbanan), and the tramways in Gothenburg, Norrköping and Stockholm. Its headquarters was located in Borlänge.


The Swedish Rail Administration was formed in 1988, when Swedish State Railways was split in two parts, leaving Statens Järnvägar as mainly a train operator ( both passenger and freight) and as a real estate owner, only to be split again in 2001.


The Swedish Railway Inspectorate (Swedish: Järnvägsinspektionen) was a part of the Swedish Rail Administration until 2004, when the Swedish Rail Agency (Swedish: Järnvägsstyrelsen) was formed, taking over its responsibilities. That agency was in turn incorporated into the newly formed Swedish Transport Agency (Swedish: Transportstyrelsen) in 2009.


In 2010, the Government directed a merger with the Swedish Road Administration (Swedish: Vägverket) to create the new Swedish Transport Administration (Swedish: Trafikverket), and the subsidiary responsible for railway maintenance was spun off in a separate aktiebolag, Infranord.
