The Pyynikki Circuit is a former Street Circuit in the Finnish town of Tampere. The circuit was a 3.608km long clockwise circuit in a park in the district of Pyynikki. The roadraces were known as "Pyynikinajot" and were first run in 1932. After an interruption caused by the Second World War they were revived in 1946.

For the 1962 and 1963 seasons the Finnish Motorcycle Grand Prix was held on the Pyynikki Circuit. The circuit was found to be too narrow, and therefore the Finnish Grand Prix was moved to the Imatra Circuit from 1964.

Races on the Pyynikki Circuit were banned in 1971 for safety reasons, but in the final year the future World Champion Jarno Saarinen won two classes.
