Arabs in Finland are residents and citizens of Finland who speak the Arabic language.[3]

Arabic is Finland's third most spoken foreign language, after Russian and Estonian. As of 2018, 29,462 people speak it as their mother tongue.[3]

The majority of Finnish Arabs have arrived as refugees and have lived in Finland for less than five years. 37% of Arabs feel that they are Finnish, and 57% have experienced discrimination in the labour market. One in three Arabs lack Finnish friends.[6]
During Helsinki New Year's Eve sexual assaults, Arabs in Facebook discussed how they could clear their reputation.[7]
