"Lights in the Dusk" ( _fi. Laitakaupungin valot) is a Finnish 2006 film directed and written by Aki Kaurismäki. It is the last installment in Kaurismäki's "Finland" trilogy. It features Janne Hyytiäinen, Ilkka Koivula and Maria Järvenhelmi. The film is about a security man who meets a femme fatale who sets him up using his gullibility and loyalty.

The film was presented at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It was chosen as Finland's nominee for the 79th Academy Awards in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. However, Kaurismäki decided to boycott the awards and refused the nomination as a protest against US President George W. Bush's foreign policy. Kaurismäki also boycotted the 2002 gala, when his previous film "The Man Without a Past" was nominated for an Oscar.
