Fylkingen is a society for experimental music and arts, founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1933. By this, Fylkingen is one of the world's oldest societies of this kind.

Fylkingen runs a stage in Stockholm (with the same name), used for festivals, chamber music, new music, experimental performances, modern dance performances and intermedia. Fylkingen also runs and the record label Fylkingen Records. Fylkingens first concert of electroacoustic music was arranged in 1952, in collaboration with Sveriges Radio (Swedish national radio).

During the 1960s, Fylkingen was one of the main forces behind the creation of EMS, Elektroaukustisk Musik i Sverige (the society for electroacoustic music in Sweden).

In December every second year since 2001, Fylkingen awards a prize from Åke Hodell's memorial fund, in support of electronic music, intermedia art and text-sound composition.
