Viiskulma (Finnish, literally "Five Corner"; Swedish: Femkanten, literally "Five Edge") is a well known intersection of five streets in Helsinki (Laivurinkatu, Pursimiehenkatu, Fredrikinkatu, Laivurinrinne and Tarkk'ampujankatu) at the boundary of the Punavuori and Ullanlinna neighbourhoods.

Viiskulma has traditionally been known as a landmark, and nowadays for the several record shops in it or in its immediate vicinity, specialising in various styles of music.[1][2]

The most famous of these shops is Digelius Music.[3]

There are several buildings in or near Viiskulma which are important from the point of view of local cultural history. In one corner there used to be the cinema theatre Merano.
