Stora Sjöfallet is a national park in Norrbotten County in northern Sweden, in Gällivare Municipality. It is situated by the Norwegian border. It was declared national park in 1909.

It covers an area of 1,278 km². It is divided in two by the Akkajaure hydroelectric reservoir. The park's western and northern portions lie in the Swedish portion of the Scandinavian Mountains, including several glaciers and some of Sweden's highest peaks. The mountain Áhkká, known as the "Queen of Lappland", dominates much of the park. The lower hills in the south of the park are covered by forests of fir trees.
