Il Festival di Hultsfred, in svedese Hultsfredsfestivalen, è un festival musicale tenutosi con cadenza annuale dal 1986 al 2013 (eccezion fatta per il 2010) nella città di Hultsfred, in Svezia, sul lago Hulingen.

Nato nel 1986 come festival rock, ha ospitato negli anni anche artisti pop, hip-hop e metal. Si svolgeva nell'arco di tre giorni, dal giovedì al sabato, nel mese di giugno o nel mese di luglio e per l'occasione era allestita una grande area campeggio.
