The Swedish Chef is a Muppet character from the sketch comedy television series The Muppet Show, known for his eccentric culinary skills and communicating in mock Swedish gibberish.

The Swedish Chef is currently performed by Bill Barretta. He is best known for his ridiculous cooking methods and the phrase "Bork, bork, bork!".
