Snapphanar es una miniserie sueca que se emitió en tres partes en Sveriges Television durante la Navidad de 2006, dirigida por Måns Mårlind y Björn Stein. El drama histórico trata sobre el movimiento rebelde campesino Snapphane que luchó contra el gobierno sueco de Scania en el siglo XVII. El "Snapphanar" fue un pueblo rebelde, que luchó en secreto por Dinamarca durante 1660-1700.
La miniserie fue criticada por los historiadores debido a la percepción de una falta de precisión histórica. Las actitudes nacionalistas de Scanian retratadas en la serie no existían en el siglo XVII, y el término snapphane, que se usa para la autoidentificación en la serie, era de hecho un término despectivo usado por los suecos.
