IOGT-NTO is a Swedish temperance organisation, the Swedish branch of IOGT International. Since 1995, Sven-Olov Carlsson is the chairman. IOGT-NTO has about 45,000 members. IOGT-NTO has a junior organisation, Junis.

IOGT was established in Sweden on November 5, 1879. IOGT-NTO of today was formed in 1970 through the merger of the Swedish IOGT with Nationaltemplarorden (NTO), a Christian Swedish temperance organization. NTO in turn was formed in 1922 through the merger of Nationalgodtemplarorden (NGTO) and Templarorden (TO). Other Swedish temperance movements (in 1933) include(d) Nykterhetsorden Verdandi (NOV, socialist, established 1896), Sveriges Blåbandsförening (SBF, Christian, the blue ribbon association, established in Sweden in 1883), Vita Bandet (for women, the white ribbon, established in Sweden in 1900), Motorförararnas Helnykterhetsförbund (MHF, for motorists, founded 1926), Sveriges Lärares Nykterhetsförbund (SLN, for teachers, founded 1906), Sveriges Studerande Ungdoms Helnykterhetsförbund (SSUH, for students), Järnvägsmännens Helnykterhetsförbund (JHF, for railroad workers), Sveriges Polismäns Helnykterhetsförbund (SPHF, for policemen, founded 1905), Svenska Tullpersonalens Helnykterhetsförbund (STHF, for customs staff), and Svenska Läkarnas Nykterhetsförening (for physicians). Sweden's first temperance movement was Svenska Sällskapet för Nykterhet och Folkuppfostran, established on April 11, 1837. Apparently it still existed in 1933, but only had 149 members.[1]
