Nyland and Tavastehus County (Swedish: Nylands och Tavastehus län, Finnish: Uudenmaan ja Hämeen lääni) was a county of the Swedish Empire from 1634 to 1809.

In 1775 a part of Satakunta was added from the Åbo and Björneborg County, while Upper Hollola was transferred to the new Kymmenegård County.

By the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in 1809 Sweden ceded all its territories in Finland, east of the Torne River, to Russia. The county still continued to exist until 1831, when it was split to Häme Province and Uusimaa Province.
