Korkeasaari Zoo (Finnish: Korkeasaaren eläintarha), also known as Helsinki Zoo, is the largest zoo in Finland, located in Helsinki. The zoo was first opened in 1889. Today it is operated by a nonprofit foundation.

The zoo is among the most popular places among visitors in Helsinki. A ferry and water buses take visitors to the island of Korkeasaari, where the Zoo is located, during summertime from the Market Square. The zoo is also connected to the mainland via a bridge to the Helsinki district of Mustikkamaa, where there is access to the zoo all year round.
