Tenala ({{langx|fi|Tenhola}}) is a former municipality in Uusimaa, Finland. It was neighboured by Hanko, Kisko, Perniö, Pohja, Särkisalo and Ekenäs.
The municipality was established in 1329. The stone church of Tenala was built in late 15th century and the paintings on the piers are from the 17th century.
