Superpesis is the top division of the Finnish native sport pesäpallo in Finland. Both men's and women's top division is called Superpesis. Comprising 11 teams in men's league and 10 teams in women's league, one team faces relegation to Ykköspesis at the end of the season. Superpesis was founded in 1990; before that the top division was called SM-sarja (Finnish championship series).

Most popular in semi-urban and rural municipalities, the pesäpallo matches gain a significant number of attendances compared to the population in the area.
