The Möjbro Runestone is a runestone inscribed in Proto-Norse with the Elder Futhark. It was discovered in Möjbro in Uppland, Sweden, and it is presently on display in the Swedish Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm.

It is notable not only for being one of few runestones in Proto-Norse, but also for showing what is considered to be an artistically crafted image of a rider with two dogs. It is believed that it is inspired by continental Germanic images and that it ultimately derives from late Roman art.

Several interpretations have been put forth for the inscription frawaradaz anahaha is| |slaginaz, but the only thing that can be said with certainty is that Frawaradaz is the name of a man, but even the interpretation of the name is debated.

The most common view is that the runestone is a memorial and that it says that Frawaradaz was slain. The dating varies between 400 AD and 550 AD.
