Aikakone (Finnish for time machine) is a Finnish pop music group active from 1995 to 1998 and shortly in 2001 and 2003 as Aika. In 2003, they changed their name back to Aikakone and have since been active on and off.

Their debut album Tähtikaaren taa went triple platinum in Finland,[1] the follow-up, Toiseen maailmaan, double platinum, their third, Maa, went platinum, and their fourth album, Hear Me Now, went gold.

Aikakone was awarded the Newcomer of the Year Emma award in 1995. They were also selected the best band of the year in 1995 in a vote on Radiomafia.
