ENEA is a Swedish information technology company with its main office in Kista, Sweden. They work in the area of operating systems and consulting. ENEA, which is an abbreviation of "Engmans Elektronik Aktiebolag", is best known for producing the operating system known as OSE. Other products include:

* the Polyhedra DBMS family, consisting of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Polyhedra in-memory database management system (IMDB), and Polyhedra FlashLite (which holds the data in flash-based files)

* the Element middleware software for high-availability systems

* LINX, an adaptable inter-process communication mechanism that has been released in open-source forms (with proprietary forms for OSE platforms).

ENEA was founded by four engineers from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Their first product was an operating system for a defence computer used by the Swedish Air Force. During the 1970s the firm developed compiler technology for the programming language Simula.

During the early days of the European Internet-like connections, ENEA employee Björn Eriksen connected Sweden to EUnet using UUCP, and registered "enea" as the first Swedish domain in April 1983. The domain was later converted to the internet domain "enea.se" when the network was switched over to TCP and the Swedish top domain .se was created in 1986.
