Ukko is an island in Lake Inari, Finnish Lapland. The area of the lake is called Ukonselkä. Ukko was considered by the local Inari Sámi to be an extremely important sieidi, or sacred natural formation, and was used as a sacrificial site, perhaps as recently as in the 19th century. Ukko is situated 3 km northwest of Kaartassaaret.
