1939 Finnish Grand Prix

abbr=on}} (from 1933)

The 1939 Finnish Grand Prix was a Grand Prix motor race held at Eläintarharata on 7 May 1939.

The race had a limited field of competitors with only nine entries, three of whom failed to arrive for the event. The event was held on public roads and as permission was only granted to close the streets for race day, qualifying was held at 4am on Friday morning on a 400m section of the main straight. Each car did two runs with the best times used to assign grid positions. Race favourite Petre Cristea was not able to arrive until the Saturday so was not able to set a qualifying time.
