Karis (Swedish pronunciation: [kɑːrɪs]; Template:Lang-fi, pronounced [ˈkɑrjɑː]) is a former Finnish town and Finnish municipality in Finland. On January 1, 2009, it was consolidated with Ekenäs and Pohja that formed the new town of Raseborg; Template:Lang-fi.
It is located in the Finnish province of Southern Finland and is part of Uusimaa, one of the regions of Finland. The town had a population of 9,155 (as of 31 December 2008) and covered a land area of 196.82 square kilometres (75.99 sq mi). The population density was 46.51 inhabitants per square kilometre (120.5/sq mi).
The municipality was bilingual, with a majority (59%) being Swedish language speakers and a minority (38%) being Finnish language speakers.
Karis railway station is on both the Rantarata line, connecting Helsinki Central railway station and Turku Central railway station; and on the Hanko–Hyvinkää railway where it is the junction station for branch line services to Hanko railway station. Stage magician Simo Aalto came from the town.
