IF Sylvia was a Swedish former football club based in Norrköping. The club formed on 19 May 1922, played as high as the second highest division in Swedish football, Superettan, in 2000–2003 and 2007. The club was affiliated to the Östergötlands Fotbollförbund.^[1]

In the early years, the club was also playing bandy and other sports.

In March 2013, IF Sylvia and IFK Norrköping started a cooperation where Sylvia would act as a nursery for youth player from IFK. Sylvia would also be able to loan players from IFK at short notice.^[2]

At an annual meeting in October 2025, it was decided that the club should seek a merger with Lindö FF, which in practice meant that Sylvia would be dissolved as its own club. In February 2026, the Swedish Football Association decided to transfer Sylvia's place in Division 2 to Lindö FF.
