Jussarö (Finnish: Jussaari) is a Finnish island in the Gulf of Finland.^[1] It is also a national park.^{[citation needed]} It is located in the municipality of Ekenäs, Raseborg, Finland.^{[citation needed]} Jussarö is known for the Jussarö Lighthouse.^{[citation needed]} There is also an iron ore mine,^[1] but it was closed in 1967.^{[citation needed]} The iron ore occurrence is the biggest undersea deposit in Finland and caused ships' compasses to malfunction.^{[citation needed]}

In Jussarö, some abandoned buildings still remain, which were used by the military until 2005 for urban war simulations. Many semi-destroyed structures remain from that time, featured in the 2019 TV-series Abandoned Engineering. Jussarö is known as the only ghost town in Finland. Part of the island is open to visitors.^{[citation needed]}

Russian prisoners worked in the undersea Jussarö mines in the 19th century. Conditions were very harsh. The island also had its own parish.^{[citation needed]}

Approximately 200 metres (660 ft) to the north of Jussarö is Lilla Jussarö. This smaller island, consisting of a few houses and a harbour was once owned by Nokia.^{[citation needed]}
