NasaCon was a series of annual, small conventions held in 1980 through 1990 by the Nacka-Saltsjöbaden, Sweden, sf club Sigma Terra Corps (usually called just Sigma TC), founded and chaired by Wolf von Witting. The NasaCons were generally small and devoted more to fannish companionship than to organised programming, though program items did occur. Most were held over weekends.

There were two competing NasaCon 10s, both held over the July 1–2 weekend, 1989. One was arranged by the Sigma TC club as usual, the other arranged by Ahrvid Engholm. Engholm had been a member of the convention committee for several of the earlier NasaCons, but had, due to his behavior and ongoing feuds in which he was involved, been voted out of the committee after the 1988 NasaCon 9. His view was that this was illegal, and he therefore chose to single-handedly (as —in his view — the only properly remaining convention committee member) put on the next year's NasaCon 10.

The last NasaCon, after a hiatus of ten years, was held in 2000 and was also Swecon 3.
