Rastila (Swedish: Rastböle) is an eastern suburb in the Vuosaari district of Helsinki, Finland. Rastila lies to the north of the arterial road Vuotie (Sw. Norvägen); to the south lies Meri-Rastila (Sw. Havs-Rastböle), which is often understood as part of Rastila. Rastila metro station opened in 1998. Rastila is mostly populated by families in detached houses, but around the station there are new blocks of flats for 2000 inhabitants.

Rastila is home to Helsinki's only campsite, Rastila Camping [fi],^[1] which connects with the popular swimming beach at Vartiokylänlahti (Sw. Botbyviken).
