Lappland
Lappland can refer to:
- Lapland, geographic region in Northern Fennoscandia
Unlike the English word "Lapland", the Swedish word is not used to indicate the area specifically inhabited by the Sami people. An old Swedish word for the Sami area under Swedish control was "Lappmarken". A more modern Swedish term for the area of the Sami people is Sameland.
