thumb|Bread hanging from a pole in the ceiling Ruisreikäleipä (, rye hole-bread) is a kind of Finnish bread, a flat rye flour loaf with a hole in the middle. It is sometimes referred to as reikäleipä (), shorter term without ruis (rye) which applies also to the oat loaf with a hole.

The baking of ruisreikäleipä is a tradition in western Finland. In eastern Finland thick rye bread, usually called ruislimppu (rye loaf), is more common, but traditionally only bread baked from rye has been called bread in the Karelia and Savo (eastern) regions.
