The Krogsta runestone is a runestone that is designated as U 1125 in the Rundata catalog. It is in Krogsta near Tuna, in the Uppsala Municipality, Sweden, in the historic province of Uppland. It was first described by Johannes Bureus in 1594.
Alongside a drawing of a man with outstreched hands, it bears an Elder Futhark inscription, reading mwsïeij (uninterpretable). On the right face is an additional sïainaz, probably for Proto-Norse stainaz "stone".
The peculiar gesture of made by the drawn figure has been compared to similar depictions on bracteates of the same period.
