Östers Idrottsförening, commonly known as Östers IF or simply Öster, is a Swedish sports club located in Växjö, specializing in football, and playing in the second tier of Swedish football, Superettan.

The club has previously also competed in ice hockey, bandy, and bowling. Öster was formed on 20 April 1930 as Östers Fotbollförening, before adopting the name "Östers IF" in 1932. The club is affiliated to the Smålands Fotbollförbund.

In 1968, their first season in Allsvenskan, Öster became the first team ever to win the Swedish Championship title at their first attempt (newly-promoted IF Elfsborg won the league in 1961 but had played in, and been winners of, the championship in the past). This win ignited the team's 'Golden Gge' which lasted until the mid 1980s and saw them win a total of four Swedish championships.

Between 1981 and 2014, the club also operated a women's soccer section.
