YLE FST5 (Finlands Svenska Television, literally "Finland's Swedish Television") is YLE's Finland-Swedish national television channel, providing television programmes in the Swedish language in Finland. It is a public-service channel principally intended for Finland's Swedish-speaking minority, although – since a large part of the Finnish-speaking majority understand Swedish and most of the programmes are subtitled in Finnish – a large proportion of its viewers are in fact Finnish-speakers^{[citation needed]}. Creating understanding over the language and culture border is also one of the channel's recognized objectives.

Finlands Svenska Television's output was formerly included in the programming of YLE's two main television channels, TV1 and TV2. However, since 1 September 2007, all of YLE's Swedish-language television programmes are now broadcast exclusively on digital channel FST5.
