Linus Eklöf (born 3 March 1989)[1] is a Swedish motorcycle speedway rider who won the Team U-19 European Champion title in 2008.

In 2009 he rode in the Premier League in the UK, averaging over six points per match for treble-winning King's Lynn Stars, staying with them in 2010 (averaging over 7 that season) and also riding in the Elite League for Peterborough Panthers.[2] He left British speedway in June 2010 for personal reasons, returning in 2011 with Berwick Bandits in the Premier League and Belle Vue Aces in the Elite League.

In 2022, he came out of retirement to help with the rider shortage (due to injuries) at Lejonen.[4]
