Söderledskyrkan is a red-brick parish church at Lingvägen in Farsta, Stockholm, consecrated in 1960 to designs by architects Hans Borgström and Bengt Lindroos. Since 1990 it has held protected status as a listed building of cultural and historical significance.



The church forms part of a larger complex, joined to the parish house's four building volumes, and its structure is built of brick and concrete. The main nave rises to around 14 metres, increasing to some 18 metres near the altar, giving the interior a notable sense of height and light.

Inside, the free-standing altar is made of Öland limestone, complemented by a wooden altar group depicting the three wise men, Mary, Joseph and the Christ child, carved by Ivar Lindekrantz. The font, in Gotland limestone, is the work of Gunnar Jonsson. A glass mosaic wall and round window were created by Uno Lindberg, while concrete reliefs on the anchor beam are by the artist Per Olov Ultvedt. Three bells hang visibly in the church's cross-beam on the exterior.

On the north side of the building, visitors can find a small garden along with several smaller chapels: the Birgitta chapel for private prayer, and the Ansgar and Maria chapels, used for individual devotion as well as smaller baptisms and weddings. In the Maria chapel, an altar crucifix and two mosaics by Bengt Olof Kälde, dating from the late 1960s and 1970s, depict the Annunciation and the Holy Trinity.

The church's original organ was built in 1960 by Olof Hammarberg of Gothenburg. It was later replaced by a new instrument, built by the German firm Paschen Kiel Orgelbau and inaugurated in 2021. A separate, older mechanical organ, built in 1957 by Werner Bosch of Kassel, Germany, serves the Ansgar chapel.
