The runestone at Skånela church is a granite stone located in Skånela parish and Sigtuna municipality. It was taken from the southern church wall in 1953 and placed in its current location.
Jobjörn raised the stones after Sigbjörn, his father. The stones have a run-height of 7 centimeters and are part of a pair with U Fv1979;245.
The inscription on the stone was transliterated as × iubiarn × raisti × staina × eftiʀ × sybiarn · faþur sin ×. In modern Swedish, this translates to Jobjörn reste stenarna efter Sigbjörn, sin fader.
