'''Stegesundet''' is a very narrow strait in Sweden's Stockholm Archipelago. It separates the islands of Stegesund-Hästholmen (to the west) and Skarpö (to the east), and provides a shorter route than the section of the Kodjupet strait that passes to the west of Stegesund-Hästholmen.<ref name=hitta>{{cite web |url=https://www.hitta.se/kartan/partner?s=38a28896 |title=Interactive map - Stegesundet |website=hitta.se |access-date=1 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230601142328/https://www.hitta.se/kartan/partner?s=38a28896 |archive-date=1 June 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The strait is too restricted for most commercial shipping, but is used by pleasure craft, ''Waxholmsbolaget'' ships, and other local ferries. Some of the ''Waxholmsbolaget'' ships and local ferries call at Stegesund and Skarpöborg piers on either side of the strait.<ref name=hitta/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://waxholmsbolaget.se/globalassets/kartor/hela-skargarden/linjekarta-skargarden-2023.pdf |title=Ferry Network Map |access-date=31 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230531172317/https://waxholmsbolaget.se/globalassets/kartor/hela-skargarden/linjekarta-skargarden-2023.pdf |archive-date=31 May 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref>
