The Finnish Games and Multimedia Association (FIGMA) was a Finnish trade association for video game publishers and distributors founded in 1999.

It also acted a video game rating board, to regulates video game content in relation to subjects such as sex and violence and assigns age appropriate certificates.[1][2][3] Figma published the best-selling video games every two weeks, and gave out platinum and gold prizes. It also kept yearly statistics on the size of the Finnish video game market, and organized the Finnish Game Awards from 2008 to 2013.[4]

FIGMA dissolved in 2016 when it merged with three other Nordic trade associations (the Swedish MDTS, Danish MUF, and Norwegian NSM) into the Association for the Nordic Game Industry (ANGI).[5]
