Frifot is a Swedish folk music trio which was formed in 1987. Its members are Lena Willemark, Per Gudmundson and Ale Möller. When it was first formed, the group called themselves "Möller, Willemark & Gudmundson"; the name "Frifot", literally "footloose", comes from the lyrics of one of the songs they play. Over the years, the trio's members have also had solo careers and performed with other groups, but Frifot has never ceased to exist as a group. Their fifth full-length CD was released in October, 2007.

The trio has toured in a number of countries including Poland, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, USA and India, as well as the Nordic countries. Their CD "Sluring" received the Grammis award for best folk music album in 2003 [ [http://www.grammis.se/?page=7 Grammis winners 2003] ] .
