The '''Djurgården ferry''' ({{lang-sv|Djurgårdsfärjan}}) is an inner city ferry route in [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]]. It runs from [[Slussen]], in the old town of [[Gamla Stan]], to "Allmänna gränd" on the island of [[Djurgården]], with an optional stop at the island of [[Skeppsholmen]]. The service is integrated into [[Public transport in Stockholm|Stockholm's public transport system]] and accepts all the relevant tickets of [[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik]] (SL). It is operated on behalf of SL by [[Waxholmsbolaget]] and its sub-contractors, '''Djurgårdens Färjetrafik'''.<ref name=dfhm>{{cite web |url=http://www.djurgardensfarjetrafik.se/ |title=Djurgårdens Färjetrafik |language=Swedish |publisher=Djurgårdens Färjetrafik |accessdate=19 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.djurgardensfarjetrafik.se/hem/las-mer-om-djurgardstrafiken/ |title=Om Djurgårdsfärjan |language=Swedish |trans_title=About Djurgårdsfärjan |publisher=Djurgårdens Färjetrafik |accessdate=19 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.djurgardensfarjetrafik.se/tidtabeller/ |title=Tidtabeller |language=Swedish |trans_title=Timetable|publisher=Djurgårdens Färjetrafik |accessdate=19 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.visitstockholm.com/good-to-know/local-boat-transport/ |title=Local boat transport |work=visitstockholm.com |publisher=City of Stockholm |accessdate=19 September 2017}}</ref>
All of the ferry's stops are close to visitor attractions, with the Slussen terminal close to the old city centre and the [[Stockholm Palace|Royal Palace]], the Skeppsholmen stop near to the [[Moderna Museet]], and the Djurgården terminal close to the [[Gröna Lund|Gröna Lund amusement park]], the [[Vasa Museum]] and the [[Skansen|Skansen open-air museum]]. The ferry carries some 2.2 million passengers a year.<ref name=wbab>{{cite web |url=http://www.waxholmsbolaget.se/resa/djurgardsfarjan/om-djurgardsfarjan/ |title=Om Djurgårdsfärjan |language=Swedish |trans_title=About Djurgårdsfärjan |publisher=Waxholmsbolaget |accessdate=23 September 2017 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160220032854/http://www.waxholmsbolaget.se/resa/djurgardsfarjan/om-djurgardsfarjan/ |archivedate=20 February 2016 |deadurl=yes}}</ref>

Ferry traffic in Stockholm's harbour dates to the 18th century, when rowing boats were stationed at different locations. During the 19th century steam ferries took over traffic to be followed by modern motor-powered ferries. However road and rail routes increasingly took over, and the Djurgården ferry is one of the few of the harbour ferries to have survived.<ref name=wbab/>
[[Waxholmsbolaget]] took over the Djurgården ferry in 1970. In 2014 the responsibility for the Djurgården ferry was transferred to [[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik]] (SL), and it was fully integrated into that body's ticketing system. Waxholmsbolaget continue to own the ferries, and subcontracts their operation to Djurgårdsfärjan, who are a joint venture of [[Serco]] and [[Strömma Turism & Sjöfart]].<ref name=dfhm/><ref name=wbab/><ref name=slto>{{cite web |url=http://sl.se/sv/info/nyheter/sl-biljett-pa-djurgardsfarjan/ |title=Nya biljettregler på Djurgårdsfärjan |language=Swedish |trans_title=New ticket rules on Djurgårdsfärjan |publisher=Storstockholms Lokaltrafik |accessdate=23 September 2017 |archivedate=27 July 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140727204320/http://sl.se/sv/info/nyheter/sl-biljett-pa-djurgardsfarjan/}}</ref>
