Ville Sorvali (b. April 13, 1980 in Helsinki, Finland) is a Finnish musician and music journalist. He is probably most known as the vocalist and bass player of the Finnish Folk/Pagan Metal band Moonsorrow for which he also writes all the lyrics. He is the cousin of the band's main songwriter and lead guitarist Henri "Trollhorn" Sorvali.

He speaks fluent Finnish and English, and personally admits to speaking "fairly poor" Swedish. He currently plays in the bands Human Death and Lakupaavi. Other bands he has played in include, Amoral and May Withers. He has had no musical education, and writes the lyrics for Moonsorrow, whilst his cousin Henri writes most of the music. His heros include A.A. Nemtheanga, and Thomas Väänänen of Thryfing, a Swedish band.
