Geijersgården (The Geijer Farm) is located in the central of Uppsala, Sweden, beside Ihregården, north of Carolina Rediviva, the main building of Uppsala University Library.
The name of the farm comes from Erik Gustaf Geijer who lived here 1837–46. The mainbuilding was built 1737–38 by governor Johan Brauner. This time Carolina Rediviva was new built and Uppsala University wanted the neighbouring farm to be demolished so there could be a more opened place in front of the university. Then Geijer sold the south part of the farm and moved the two buildings he wanted left to the north part, and he also renovated the buildings. The farm has its present appearance since 1850, when it was painted yellow; since 1850 it hasn't been changed.
In 1934 Uppsala University bought the farm.
In 1982 the west part of the main building burnt and the reparations was finished in 1983.
