Södra Blasieholmshamnen, street and wharf in central Stockholm, Sweden

Södra Blasieholmshamnen is a street on Blasieholmen in central Stockholm that runs from Skeppsholmsbron to Kungsträdgårdsgatan, where it becomes Strömgatan. The area houses well-known buildings such as the National Museum and Grand Hotel, along with several historic structures including the Burmanska Palace and Bolinderska Palace.

Archaeological excavations in 2011 along the quay revealed evidence of ships from the 17th and 18th centuries that once sat where the current street now lies. Between 2009 and 2013, the quay underwent reconstruction and was lowered to counteract the effects of land rise and ensure stability for vessel traffic.

The street was named in 1876, replacing the older designation Blasieholmshamnen. The location reflects Stockholm's long-standing connection to the sea and maritime traditions that extend back centuries.

The quay serves as a departure point for sightseeing boats and vessels heading to the Stockholm archipelago. Ticket pavilions and information stations are located on-site, making it straightforward to obtain details about boat departures and schedules.

During archaeological work in 2011, artifacts from the time of King Karl XII were discovered, including a large copper coin. The exact nature of the shipwrecks found underwater remains mysterious, as it is unclear whether they sank or were deliberately placed there.
