Runinskrift Hs 9 is a damaged runestones fragment made of grey granite, located near Hälsingtuna church in Hälsingtuna parish and Hudiksvalls commune in Hälsingland. The inscription on the runeband is damaged but mentions the name Torsten.

The stone is cross-marked. The transliteration of the inscription reads.-: aftiʀ: þurstin: su-.

The normalization to runesweden is. æftiʀ Þorstæin, su[n]. which translates to. after Torsten, so[n].
