The Nyland Brigade (Swedish: Nylands brigad, NylBr, Finnish: Uudenmaan prikaati, UudPr) is a brigade-level marine-type unit of the Finnish Navy stationed in Dragsvik in Raseborg in the province of Uusimaa. The brigade trains coastal jaegers and other troops for combat in coastal environments. It is the only unit of the Finnish Defence Forces where the instruction language is Swedish, one of the country's national languages alongside Finnish. The command language is, however, Finnish.
The brigade also trains personnel for the international ATU unit (amphibious task unit), which is a special crisis management force that can be employed in coastal environments.
