The Burial Mounds at Uppsala, located in the area of Gamla Uppsala (Old Uppsala), Sweden, are a significant ancient site that dates back to the Iron Age and early Viking Age. This historical landmark consists of three large and several smaller barrows or mounds that are believed to be the final resting places of preeminent figures from the early Swedish kingdom. The site is steeped in myth and legend, with the three largest mounds traditionally attributed to the Norse gods Odin, Thor, and Freyr, or alternatively to the legendary Ynglinga kings Aun, Egil, and Adils, as described in medieval texts such as the "Ynglinga saga" by Snorri Sturluson.

The mounds are situated near the 11th-century Gamla Uppsala Church and were once part of a larger complex that included a pagan temple and a well-attended Thing assembly. Archaeological excavations have revealed that the mounds contain burial chambers with human remains and grave goods, which provide valuable insights into the funerary practices, social structures, and material culture of the time. The artifacts found at the site, including weapons, jewelry, and everyday objects, reflect the wealth and status of the individuals buried there as well as the extensive trade connections of the Viking world.

As a prominent archaeological and historical site, the Burial Mounds at Uppsala have been the subject of scholarly research and are a popular tourist attraction. They are also an important cultural symbol for Sweden, representing the nation's rich Viking heritage and its transition from paganism to Christianity. The site has been preserved and is managed by the Swedish National Heritage Board, ensuring its protection for future generations to explore and study. The Burial Mounds at Uppsala were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 1999, highlighting their significance and the need for their conservation as part of the global cultural heritage.
