The County of Åbo and Björneborg ( _sv. Åbo och Björneborgs län, _fi. Turun ja Porin lääni) was a county of the Swedish Empire from 1634 to 1809.
The county was named after the cities of Åbo ( _fi. Turku) and Björneborg ( _fi. Pori). Åbo was not only the provincial capital but centre of government for all of Finland while it was a part of the Kingdom of Sweden. It also included the Åland Islands.
