Kruununhaka (; , often nicknamed "Krunika", "Krunikka" or "Kruna") is a neighbourhood of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. As of 31 December 2024 there were about 7400 inhabitants in Kruununhaka and as of 31 December 2022 there were about 9100 jobs. Kruununhaka is bordered by the street Unioninkatu to the west and the Pohjoisesplanadi street on the Helsinki Market Square to the south, in other directions it is bordered by water.

The name "Kruununhaka" (literally "pasture of the Crown") comes from a pasture for horses for the artillery of the Crown that used to be located near the current Rauhankatu street. Up to the early 18th century it used to be located slightly outside the city proper, but nowadays almost the entirety of the urban area of Helsinki at the time is said to be included in Kruununhaka.
