Øresundslinjen (Swedish: Öresundslinjen) is a ferry company serving the route between Helsingborg, Sweden and Helsingør, Denmark. Until 2018 the company was called HH-Ferries Group, and the trading name Scandlines was used. From 2018 to 2023 the name "ForSea Ferries" was used.
The Helsingør–Helsingborg ferry route crosses the narrowest part of the Øresund, taking about 20 minutes to traverse the 4-kilometre (2-nautical-mile) strait. The company owns five vessels, including the sister ships Tycho Brahe, Aurora af Helsingborg, and Hamlet, each of which has capacity for 240 cars and 1,250 passengers.
