Division 2 was the second tier of ice hockey in Sweden for the 1943–44 season. The league was divided into six groups, and the winner of each group was promoted to Division 1 for the 1944–45 season. This change from previous seasons—in which the group winners had played a qualifier which resulted in only two teams being promoted—was prompted from the change in format from the eight-team Svenska Serien to a twelve-team Division 1 following the 1943–44 season. Sandvikens IF, IF Göta, Surahammars IF, IFK Mariefred, Tranebergs IF, and Skuru IK won their groups, and were therefore promoted into the new Division 1.
