Risholmen is an island in the Stockholm archipelago in Sweden. It is situated to the south of Tynningö island, in Vaxholm Municipality and Stockholm County.[1] There are around 15 residential buildings on the island, the oldest of which dates from 1898.[citation needed]

Centrally on the north side of the island is the Risberga jetty, which is served by Waxholmsbolaget ships, providing a connection to Vaxholm town and Stockholm city. Ships call on request from spring to autumn, but there is no service in winter.[1][2][3]

This island should not be mistaken for another island of the same name, situated some 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) to the south-east in Värmdö Municipality.[1]
