The Falkenbergs Motorbana is a racing circuit in Sweden , which is about ten kilometers east of the town of Falkenberg near Bergagård.

From 1952 to 1964, Falkenberg held races on a four-kilometer road circuit called the Skreabanan. Only then was the Falkenbergs Motorbana built. This was opened in 1967. The course, now around 1843 meters long and 10 meters wide, remained unchanged for a long time. In 2004, however, the first corner was converted into a chicane in order to increase the safety of the relatively fast route. The grandstands offer space for 1,000 people, as well as for around 1,300 additional spectators at major events.

The Swedish Touring Car Championship and the Scandinavian Porsche Carrera Cup are regular guests on the circuit operated by the Falkenbergs Motorklubb . In the late 1970s and early 1980s, rallycross races were held on the Falkenbergs Motorbana .
