Timo Pekka Olavi Siitoin (20 May 1944 in Varkaus, Finland – 8 December 2003 in Vehmaa, Finland) was a Finnish satanist, occultist and neo-Nazi.

He was born in Varkaus, Finland. According to Siitoin, he was born to a German military officer and Finnish-Russian woman, but he was adopted after his birth.[1] In his youth he studied at the Theatre Academy of Finland and was a disciple of Finland's best known clairvoyant, Aino Kassinen [fi]. In the 1970s he became a neo-Nazi and founded several organizations. He saw himself as the leader of the Finnish Nazi movement but got at most a few dozen supporters. Siitoin also wrote books and pamphlets about politics and occultism.

In 1977 Siitoin was convicted of inciting the arson of the printing house Kursiivi which printed the Communist newspaper Tiedonantaja and founding an organization forbidden in the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty.[2] He was sentenced to five years and seven months in prison. Siitoin had earlier been fined, while convicted of cruelty to animals and vandalism against the Turku Synagogue. On 4 November 1977 the Finnish Ministry of the Interior closed down four of the organizations he had founded, as neo-Fascist and forbidden by the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty.

In 1996, Siitoin ran for the city council of his town of Naantali and came within few votes of being elected, being the sixth most popular candidate.[3][4] Siitoin died of esophageal cancer in Vehmaa, Finland.[5] He was buried in Hakapelto Cemetery in Naantali.[6]

A documentary film called Sieg Heil Suomi has been made about the Neo-Nazi activities led by Siitoin and Väinö Kuisma.[7]
