(Parliamentary) Committee on Cultural Affairs[1] (Swedish: kulturutskottet, KrU) is a parliamentary committee in the Swedish Riksdag. The committee areas of responsibility concern general cultural and educational purposes, popular education, youth activities, international cultural cooperation, and sports. The committee also debates church issues and matters concerning radio and television, and immigration and integration policies, insofar as they do not belong to the Constitutional Committee's preparation.

The committee's speaker is Christer Nylander for the Liberals party, along with the vice-speaker for the Left Party, second vice-speaker for the Moderate Party and third vice-speaker Lawen Redar for the Social Democratic Party.
