Uppslagsverket Finland ('Encyclopedia Finland') is a Swedish-language encyclopedia with a focus on Finland and in particular Finland-Swedish subjects.

The encyclopedia is published by initiative of an association dedicated to this task, Föreningen finlandssvenska uppslagsverk ('the Finnish-Swedish Encyclopedia Association'). The initiative to the publication was taken in 1969, and the first edition was published in three volumes in 1982 to 1985.[1]

A second edition was published by Schildts in five volumes during 2003 to 2007.[2]

In 2009, the encyclopedia was made freely available online, with funding from the educational association Svenska Folkskolans Vänner (SFV).
