Sune Sik Sverkersson, (born c. 1154), in older historical accounts, was a Swedish prince. According to Olaus Petri, he would have been a younger son of King Sverker I of Sweden and father of Ingrid Ylva.

In surviving medieval documents, the only Sune Sik that can be found looks like he lived much later, which has caused some historians to view Olaus Petri's account of him as unreliable. That Sune Sik made a donation to Vreta Abbey as late as in 1297. He might have ordered a restauration of a chapel in which he eventually was interred, and later Cistercian tradition may then have turned him into a prince.

Sune Sik, as a son of King Sverker, is still counted by some reliable Swedish historians as a possible person of history.

Jag har nämnt ovan, att cisterciensernas tradition tilldelat Sverker en son, Sune Sik, som icke rimligtvis kan vara historisk i denna egenskap. Jag har också antytt, att han antagligen fått sin prinsvärdighet genom missförstånd och vore att identifiera med en donator till klostret, som möter i ett diplom av 1297
