The Södermanlands runinskrifter 79 is a runblock in Hällbybrunn, Torshälla parish, and Eskilstuna municipality in Södermanland. The runestone is made on a large boulder, 3,5 meter high and two times 3,8 meter wide. The carving faces southwest toward the road.
The inscription covers an area of 210 cm by 195 cm. The runes are 11-14 cm tall and are heavily weathered, making the text difficult to read. The normalized transcription into runic Swedish reads.biorn ok. r[ist]u(?) at f[aðu]r sinn Stæi[nbi]orn(?) ok a[t](?).diarf(?) b[roður](?) [sinn](?).
The translation into modern Swedish suggests: -björn och Tj-(?) ristade(?) efter sin fader Stenbjärn(?) och efter(?) -därv(?), sin(?) broder.(?).
