Viljo Kajava (22 September 1909 in Tampere – 2 February 1998) was a Finnish poet and writer. His first collections of poems were released in 1935. During his 50-year career he published nearly 40 books, most of them poems. Kavaja's Tampereen runot ("Poems of Tampere 1918") has become a symbol of the pacifistic point of view of the Finnish Civil War.
He is buried in the Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.[1]
