Yle Fem (Yle Five) is Yle's Finland-Swedish national television channel, providing television programmes in the Swedish language in Finland. It is a public-service channel principally intended for Finland's Swedish-speaking minority. Creating understanding over the language and culture border is also one of the channel's recognized objectives.

Yle Fem was previously known as FST, then YLE FST from 2001-2006 and YLE FST5 from 2006-2012 (Finlands Svenska Television, literally "Finland's Swedish Television") but the name was changed because the viewers thought the name was only a combination of letters (Fem is Swedish for five.). Initially, Finlands Svenska Television's output was formerly included in the programming of Yle's two main television channels, TV1 and TV2. However, since September 1, 2007, all of Yle's Swedish-language television programmes are now broadcast exclusively on digital channel FST5. Yle Fem and Yle Teema will be merged into one channel on 24th of April.

In addition, Yle Fem simulcasts a significant amount of programming from SVT World, the international channel of Sweden's Public Broadcaster SVT.
