right|250px|thumb|An adult Roslag sheep The Roslag sheep () is a breed of endangered domesticated sheep that originated in and is almost exclusively found in Sweden.

==Origins== Roslag sheep originate from the remnant populations of Swedish landrace breeds that used to be rather common all over the countryside, but are generally believed to have come from Raggarön in Roslagen, Sweden from where the breed takes its name.
