Fotografiska is a centre for contemporary photography in the Södermalm district of Stockholm, Sweden that opened on 21 May 2010. Fotografiska was founded by the brothers Jan and Per Broman. It is not a museum because it has no collections, does not conduct research and is for-profit. It is not a member of either Swedish ICOM or Riksförbundet Sveriges museer.
