Archipelago Sea Naval Command ( _fi. Saaristomeren Meripuolustusalue, _sv. Skärgårdshavets Marinkommando) is a Finnish Navy unit headquartered in Pansio, Turku.

The main duty of the Archipelago Sea Naval Command during normal condition is the surveillance of Finnish territorial waters and maintaining territorial integrity. In addition, the Command trains conscripts to fulfil duties in the crisis-time organization of the Command. The Command is always at the state of enhanced readiness, prepared to repel unauthorized incursions to Finnish waters using force. In a crisis, securing the sea lanes for the use of Finnish commercial shipping would be the main duty of the Command. [ [http://www.mil.fi/merivoimat/joukot/smmepa/esittelyt.dsp SMMEPA: Esittelyt] .
