The Torne Valley or Torne River Valley (Finnish: Tornionlaakso, Swedish: Tornedalen) lies at the border of Sweden and Finland. It is named after the Torne River flowing through the valley and into the Gulf of Bothnia. Geographically the townships and municipalities that make up the area are Haparanda, Övertorneå, Pajala and Kiruna in Sweden, and Tornio, Ylitornio, Pello, Kolari, Muonio and Enontekiö in Finland. Culturally the Swedish municipality Gällivare is also considered to belong to Torne Valley due to the large share of Meänkieli-speaking population in it. Torne Valley must not be confused with Torne Valley Sub-region.
