Suomen Valokuvataiteen Museo (English: The Finnish Museum of Photography) is Finland's national specialized museum for photography. Through exhibitions, collection management, education, research, and a wide range of public and community programmes, the museum strives to promote and foster photographic art and culture in Finland.

Founded on the initiative of Finnish photography organizations, the museum opened its doors in 1969 and is the oldest photography museum in Europe. It is located in Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki.

The museum is maintained by the Foundation for the Finnish Museum of Photography.

The museum's main support comes from the Finnish Ministry of Education and from the City of Helsinki, which provides premises in the Kaapelitehdas (English: Cable Factory) in Ruoholahti, Helsinki.

The museum is also involved in book publishing. The books are often related to the exhibitions held at the museum. The museum also runs a photography book shop.
