Hagalund tunnel , also called Solna tunnel , is a railway tunnel under the Hagalund district in the Swedish municipality of Solna in Stockholm County . The tunnel consists of four tunnel tubes. The first tube was built in 1911 together with today's Solna station, which is located at the northern exit of the tunnel.

Hagalundstunneln consists of three parallel, double-track railway tunnels with a length of around 500 meters. Another single-track tunnel for freight traffic leads through the mountain from the south. This tunnel, which is furthest to the west, flows underground into the adjacent tube.

When viewed from the south, the eastern tube is used for trains heading towards Stockholm, while the tunnel in the center accommodates traffic to the north. This was the first tunnel to be built in 1911.

The westernmost tunnel was built between 1950 and 1960. The eastern tunnel is part of the four-track Tomteboda – Skavstaby connection on the Stockholm – Sundsvall line and was built in the 1990s.
