Industrifacket Metall (IF Metall) is a trade union in Sweden. It was formed in a 2006 merger between the Swedish Industrial Union (Industrifacket) and the Swedish Metalworkers' Union (Metall). Its roots in Metall trace back to 1888.

IF Metall has a membership density of 80%.[3] On formation, it had 337,712 members, but this fell steadily, to 241,951 in 2019.[4] IF Metall represents workers in around 11,500 workplaces. 21% are women, 15% are under 30 years of age.[5] in a variety of sectors, including:

IF Metall is the second-largest affiliate of the Swedish Trade Union Confederation. On 4 December 2020, PTK, Kommunal, IF Metall and the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (SN) signed a new main agreement on changes to employment protection (severance rules, etc.) and expanded opportunities for skills development and retraining.[6]
