Visingsö is an island in the southern half of the lake Vättern in Sweden.

Visingsö lies 30 km north of the city Jönköping and 6 km west of Gränna from which a ferry connects the island.

According to legend, a Giant named Vist created Visingsö by throwing a lump of soil into the lake so that his wife could use it to step over the lake.
