Sjöbo is a town (pop. 6,364) in Scania, southern Sweden and the seat of Sjöbo Municipality, Skåne County.

Sjöbo started growing when it became a halt on the railway between Malmö (to the west) and Simrishamn (to the east) in the early 20th century. Today the town of Sjöbo cannot be reached by rail, but a road through central Scania crosses the municipality and town, while another large road from east to west also crosses it.

Sjöbo possess the Guinness World Record for the biggest "spettekaka" ever made. "Spettekaka" ("spit cake") is a cake made out of flour, sugar and eggs an baked on a spit.
