Luleå Hockeyförening, also known as Luleå Hockey, is a professional ice hockey club from Luleå, Sweden. The club has been playing in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), the top tier of ice hockey in Sweden, since the 1984–85 season. They are the northernmost team in the league and have won the Swedish championships twice, in 1996 and 2025. Since being promoted to the top flight (then called Elitserien) in 1984, the team has not once had to participate in a promotion/relegation-qualifier to defend their spot in the top league.

Luleå Hockeyföreningen was formed on May 2, 1977 under the name GroKo Hockey, which was a merger of the ice hockey sections of IFK Luleå and Luleå SK. The name GroKo came from one of the main sponsors.
