Kruununhaka (Swedish: Kronohagen) is a district of Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Kruununhaka became the area next to the harbour and the center, when Helsinki was moved from the earlier location in the mid-1660s. From the very beginning, the residents included city and state officials.
Many buildings of the University of Helsinki are also situated in Kruununhaka.
