Ingvar or Yngvar Harra, Proto-Norse *''Ingu-Hariz'' (d. early 7th century) was the son of Östen and reclaimed the Swedish throne for the House of Yngling after the Swedes had rebelled against Sölvi.

King Ingvar finally came to a peace agreement with the Danes and could take care of the Estonian pirates. He consequently started pillaging in Estonia in retribution, and one summer he arrived at a place called Stein (see also Sveigder).
