Kuopio City Library ({{langx|fi|Kuopion kaupunginkirjasto}}) is a municipal and regional library in Kuopio, Finland. The main library building is located in the Vahtivuori district.

The current building of the main library in Kuopio was designed by architect Matti Hakala and was completed in 1967.[http://arksavo.fi/kohteet/pohjois-savon-maakuntakirjasto/ Kuopion kaupunginkirjasto] - Arksavo.fi (in Finnish) Prior to that, the library was located in the same premises as the Kuopio Museum.[https://kuopionmuseo.fi/tule-museoon/tietoa-kuopion-museo-rakennuksesta/ Tietoa Kuopion museo -rakennuksesta] (in Finnish) In the spring of 2021, the new Hila building between the Kuopio Museum and the library building, designed by architects Aki Davidsson and Jaana Tarkela, was completed. This contributes to the reunification of the main library and the museum, and has been named the Kantti Quarter (Kantti-kortteli), which cherishes cultural heritage.[https://www.savonsanomat.fi/paikalliset/3013536 Hila voitti arkkitehtuurikilpailun: Näin kirjasto ja museo yhdistetään] - Savon Sanomat (in Finnish)[https://www.kuopio.fi/uudistuva-museo-kirjasto Uudistuneet Kuopion museo ja kirjasto] - Kuopio.fi (in Finnish)
