Sverd i fjell (English: Swords in Rock) is a monument in Hafrsfjord in Stavanger, Norway.

The monument was made by sculpturer Fritz Røed from Bryne and was opened by Olav V of Norway in 1983. Three big swords stands in the hill as a memory to the Battle of Hafrsfjord in year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown.

The biggest sword represents the victorius King, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated kings. The monument also represents peace, as the three swords are stuck in the hill and will never be used again.
