Nälkämaan laulu (meaning "Song of the Hunger Land") is a Finnish poem by Ilmari Kianto. It was turned into a song by Oskar Merikanto, and this song is the regional anthem of the Kainuu region. The song was first performed in 1911. A Swedish translation of the lyrics was made by Kianto's daughter Raija-Liisa Kianto in 2005, named Hungerlandets sång.
The lyrics describe the natural beauty of Kainuu, the hard-working nature (see sisu) of the Kainuu people, and their pride of their homeland.
