Three runestone fragments found in Malmslätt, Linköping, are dated to the vikingatiden.

Östergötlands runinskrifter 106-108 are three runestone fragments located in Kärna kyrkogård, in Malmslätt, Linköping kommun. The fragments possibly come from two or three larger granite runestones dated to the vikingatiden. These are designated as Ög 106, Ög 107, and Ög 108. Only a few runes remain on each fragment.

On Ög 106, only "þu-" is visible, which does not allow for any conjecture, along with part of an animal motif. On Ög 107, the inscription (t)i: baþa: istina: at: i. is interpreted as ". [ræis]ti baða stæina at.", meaning ". [res]te båda stenarna efter I.". Ög 107 may form the top of Ög 106.

On Ög 108, the inscription ".isþi: a-." is interpreted as ". [r]æisþi æ[ftiR]/a[t].", meaning ".reste e[fter]/å[t].". Parts of a cross can also be seen on Ög 108.
