Skaraborg County, Former administrative region between Lakes Vänern and Vättern, Sweden.

The region extends across the northeastern part of Västergötland province, featuring varied terrain patterns between two major Swedish lakes.

Established in 1634 as a Swedish county with Mariestad as its capital, Skaraborg operated until its merger into Västra Götaland County in 1998.

Local newspapers, radio channels, and regional organizations maintain the Skaraborg name, preserving the historical identity of this administrative territory.

The regional medical facility in Skövde, known as Skaraborgs sjukhus, continues to serve residents from the former county area.

Two municipalities, Habo and Mullsjö, transferred to Jönköping County during the dissolution of Skaraborg in 1997.
