Jonsered (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈjɔ̌nːsɛrɛd])[2] is a locality situated in Partille Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden with 930 inhabitants in 2010.

In 1856 the first Swedish state railway was inaugurated between Gothenburg and Jonsered later being built all the way up to Stockholm.

Jonsered was dominated by the Gibson family until the 1920s but the company remained the driving force of the community, being the main landowner until the 1970s.

In the 1950s Jonsered started production of chainsaws which became a worldwide success and helped the company when the textile industry was shut down in the late 1960s.

The community changed after the closure of Jonsereds fabriker transforming into a suburb for commuters working in Gothenburg and Partille.
