Södra Sofielund, or Seved, informally, is a neighbourhood of Malmö, situated in the Borough of Södra Innerstaden, Malmö Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden. In 2015, the area was reported by daily newspaper Sydsvenskan to be a socially deprived area where drugs were sold openly and heavy violence involving the use of hand grenades and assault rifles occurred.[2]

In the 2011–13 period, about 35% of the population originated outside the EU and the Nordic countries.[3]

In its December 2015 report, Police in Sweden placed the district in the most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates.[4] However, NOA's biennial report for 2023 has lowered this classifcation to "Risk Area".[5][6]
