Pukkila ({{IPA|fi|ˈpukːilɑ|lang}}; Swedish: Pukkila, also {{lang|sv|Buckila}}) is a municipality of Finland. It is located in the Uusimaa region. The municipality has a population of {{formatnum: {{Data Finland municipality/population count|Pukkila}}}} ({{#time: j F Y|{{Data Finland municipality/population count|sourcedate}} }}) and covers an area of {{convert|{{Data Finland municipality/total area|Pukkila}}|km2}} of which {{convert|{{Data Finland municipality/waters area|Pukkila}}|km2|abbr=on}} is water. The population density is {{convert|{{Data Finland municipality/population density|Pukkila|round=2}}|PD/km2}}.

The municipality is unilingually Finnish. The pukki- part of the municipality's name means "male goat", which is why the name of the municipality literally means the "place of goat". Pukkila has previously also been called Savijoki ("Clay River") and, in local colloquial language, Vähä-Porvoo ("Lesser Porvoo").Suomi I, p. 130. 1919. (in Finnish)

In 1962, a former villager, Onni Nurmi, bequeathed the village 760 shares in a company called Nokia - then chiefly known as a manufacturer of rubber workboots - on condition that the income be used for the benefit of the elderly and that the shares would never be sold.
