Södermanlands runinskrifter 45 is a Viking-age rune stone made of gneiss. It is located in Stora Släbro, Sankt Nicolai socken, in Nyköping municipality.
The stone is made of gray granite. The height of the runes is 6-15 centimeters. The inscriptions provide information about a family from Sörmland.
Translated from the runes, the text reads: Gerfast, Estfare raised this stone after Frösten, his father, and after Rang, his brother. The inscriptions suggest that Frösten and Rolv were brothers. Frösten had three sons, Vagn, Gerfast, and Estfare, while Rolv was married to Öborg and had two sons, Håmund and Ulv.
