Tinja-Riikka Tellervo Korpela (born 5 May 1986) is a Finnish football goalkeeper who plays for German club Bayern Munich. She previously played for Tyresö FF in Sweden's Damallsvenskan, LSK Kvinner and Kolbotn of Norway's Toppserien, and FC Honka of Finland's Naisten Liiga.
Korpela debuted for Finland's national team in 2007. She represented her country at the UEFA Women's Championships in 2009 and 2013.
Swedish UEFA Women's Champions League contenders Tyresö FF signed Korpela to a contract in December 2013. Korpela competed with Carola Söberg for a starting place and was a substitute in Tyresö's 4–3 defeat by Wolfsburg in the 2014 UEFA Women's Champions League Final. Tyresö suffered a financial implosion in 2014 and withdrew from the 2014 Damallsvenskan season, expunging all their results and making all their players free agents.
Korpela signed a two-year contract with German Frauen-Bundesliga club FC Bayern Munich in June 2014. On 18 February 2016, she extended her contract until 2018.
