Haapaniemi is a district in the city of Kuopio, Finland. It is located south of downtown, about a mile from the market square. The district has a population of about 4,000. The northern end of Saaristokatu, which runs to the archipelago city, leads to Haapaniemi, as does the southern ramp leading to the center of the motorway.
A villa district was designed in the area in an architectural competition held in 1899, which was won by architect Lars Sonck for Haapaniemi. On the basis of the competition entries, a draft town plan was prepared for the area, which was followed. However, the entry of industrial plants into the area in the early 20th century buried the idea of a villa district and housing was created for the working population in the area.[1]

The area includes the Haapaniemi Power Plant of Kuopio Energia,[2] and Kuopio University Hospital.[3] The cargo ship harbour of the port of Kuopio is located in Haapaniemi.[4]
