Fenno-Filmi was a Finnish film production company. The company was founded by film directors Yrjö Norta and Theodor Luts in 1942.
Luts and Erkki Uotila were the co-directors of the first Fenno-Filmi production Salainen ase which premiered on 3 January 1943. Erehtyneet sydämet was released in April 1944, with Uotila and Eero Leväluoma sharing the director's credits. Later that year, Yrjö Norta directed a film Hiipivä vaara. Norta directed five of Fenno-Filmi's 18 films.
Roland af Hällström made his first Fenno-Filmi effort Houkutuslintu in 1946. He soon became the head director for the company, a position which he later kept in Fennada-Filmi as well. Edvin Laine, Jorma Nortimo and Teuvo Tulio were some of the other directors who worked for Fenno-Filmi.
