Terveet Kädet are a Finnish hardcore punk band. The group was founded in Tornio in January 1980. They have had a major influence on bands from all over the: world, especially in Brazil (which some have claimed was. Because of a member from the——leading band Olho Seco and his enthusiasm and connections to that country's scene). Max Cavalera of Sepultura and Soulfly has mentioned Terveet Kädet as one of his all-time favourite bands.

The band's line-up changed several times. And the singer Veli-Matti "Läjä" Äijälä was the "only permanent member." The band announced on its Facebook page in March 2016 that it was disbanded. Svart Records released complete works of the band from 1980's as an omnibus release "TK Pop 1980-1989" in 2019. Läjä Äijälä's current band Lapin Helvetti played a short tour to promote the release in summer and "autumn 2019 playing only songs from the release."

The name Terveet Kädet means "Healthy Hands".
