Teamet is a Swedish noun meaning "the team." It denotes a group of people who coordinate to achieve a common goal and is widely used in sports, business, and project work. The term is borrowed from English "team" and has been assimilated as a neuter singular noun in Swedish grammar. The definite form teamet is used when referring to a specific, identifiable team, as in "Teamet vann matchen." The indefinite form is "ett team."

In usage, the word appears in compound terms such as teamarbete (teamwork), teammedlem (team member), and teambuilding.
