The Emigrants is the collective name of a series of four novels by Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg. Written in the mid-twentieth century, they explore the large Swedish emigration to the United States that started about a century before. Many of the first immigrants settled in the Midwest, including the Minnesota Territory:
- The Emigrants (Swedish: Utvandrarna), 1949
- Unto a Good Land (title in Swedish: Invandrarna 'The Immigrants'), 1952
- The Settlers (Swedish: Nybyggarna), 1956
- The Last Letter Home (title in Swedish: Sista brevet till Sverige 'The Last Letter to Sweden'), 1959
All the books have been translated into English, in addition to numerous other languages. The novels are generally considered to be among the best works of Swedish literature.
