Karunki is an urban area and a former municipality that is situated in Lapland, Finland with 483 inhabitants in 2012.
Karunki is located at the Torne river on the border of Finland and Sweden. On the Swedish side of the river, opposite to Karunki, the village Karungi (pop 232) is located. There is no bridge, but crossing the river is done by boat or on the ice. These two villages have a common history since before the national border was drawn in the river, through the village, in 1809.
