Follingbo is a populated area, a socken (not to be confused with parish), on the Swedish island of Gotland. It comprises the same area as the administrative Follingbo District, established on 1 January 2016.
The most distinguishing feature in Follingbo is the 260 m (850 ft) high Follingbo transmitter. It became operational on 24 December 1959, and has since then been used for broadcasting television and radio to all of Gotland.
