PK-35 Vantaa (formerly Pallokerho-35 or PK-35) is a Finnish football club, based in Vantaa. It currently plays in the Finnish League (Veikkausliiga). As of the 2009 season the club has been based at the Myyrmäen jalkapallostadion, Myyrmäki, Vantaa.
PK-35 was founded in Vyborg in 1935. After the Finnish Winter War and Second World War, PK-35 was refounded in Helsinki in 1948. When PK-35 was coached by Pasi Rautiainen in the mid-1990s they were promoted to Finland's top division, the Veikkausliiga. After some economical troubles the first team was acquired by Hjallis Harkimo and renamed FC Jokerit. The PK-35 club, however, continued with the other teams in lower divisions using its original name. PK-35 was promoted to Kakkonen in 2001 and to Ykkönen in 2005.
After the 2008 season Pallokerho-35 decided to move its men's and women's first teams to the commuter town of Vantaa, where they will play at ISS Stadion in Myyrmäki. Those teams will be run by a new association and compete with the name PK-35 Vantaa. Pallokerho-35 and its other teams (juniors) will stay in Helsinki under PK-35 ry (main club).
