Häme (Swedish: Tavastland; also known as Tavastia) is one of the 13 electoral districts of the Parliament of Finland, the national legislature of Finland. The district was established as Häme Province South (Finnish: Hämeen läänin eteläinen; Swedish: Tavastehus läns södra) in 1907 when the Diet of Finland was replaced by the Parliament of Finland. It was renamed Häme in 1997. It is conterminous with the regions of Kanta-Häme and Päijät-Häme. The district currently elects 14 of the 200 members of the Parliament of Finland using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system.
