Kaarle Krohn (May 10, 1863 - June 19, 1933) was a Finnish folklorist, professor and developer of the geographic-historic method of folklore research. He was the son of journalist and poet Julius Krohn, and his sister was Aino Kallas, a Finnish author. Krohn is best known outside of Finland for his contributions to international folktale research. He devoted most of his life to the study of the epic poetry that forms the basis for the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala.
