Norslundastenen, also known as Upplands runinskrifter 419, is a runestone originally located in Norslunda in Norrsunda parish in Uppland. Today, the stone is kept at Skansen in Stockholm.
The ornamentation on the stone features a runesnake seen in profile, which encloses a simple Christian cross. The inscription was made by Kylving, Stenfrid, and Sigfast.
The transliterated text identifies the stone as a memorial for Östen, who was the son of Gunnar. The message concludes with a request for God to help his soul.
