Timo Tapani Sarpaneva (31 de outubro de 1926 - 6 de outubro de 2006) foi um influente designer, escultor e educador finlandês, mais conhecido no mundo da arte por seu trabalho inovador em vidro, que frequentemente mesclava atributos de objetos de arte de exibição com designações utilitárias.
Embora o vidro continuasse sendo seu meio mais comumente abordado, ele trabalhou com metal, madeira, têxteis e porcelana (porcelana). Sarpaneva entrou em lares em todo o mundo por meio de seu design industrial de itens sofisticados e artisticamente concebidos, incluindo panelas de ferro fundido e louças de porcelana.
Seu trabalho foi um dos principais componentes que ajudaram a lançar a reputação da Finlândia como pioneira do design.
