Lappland

Lappland can refer to:

Lapland, Sweden
Lapland Province, Finland
rather loosely for much of the northern Fennoscandia

Unlike the English word "Lapland", the Swedish word is not used to indicate the area specifically inhabited by the Sami people. An old Swedish word for the Sami area under Swedish control was "Lappmarken".
