The Ragnar class consisted of three destroyers built for the Royal Swedish Navy before World War I, {{HSwMS|Ragnar|1908|2}}, {{HSwMS|Sigurd|1908|2}}, and {{HSwMS|Vidar|1909|2}}. The lead ship, Ragnar, its design based on the earlier destroyer {{HSwMS|Wale||2}}, was launched May 30, 1908. The Ragnar class led a relatively quiet service life performing routine missions, such as escorts and exercises between their commissioning before World War I, and their decommissioning shortly after World War II.
