Terjärv ( fi, Teerijärvi) was an independent municipality of Finland until 1969 but is now together with Nedervetil, a part of the municipality of Kronoby.
Terjärv is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Ostrobothnia (region), Ostrobothnia region. The ex-municipality has a population of about 2,400.
The former municipality is bilingual, with a large majority Swedish language, Swedish-speaking and the minority Finnish language, Finnish. Being by air from port city Jakobstad at the nearest coastline, the village is among the further inland settlements of Swedish-speaking Finns, Swedish-speaking Finland. The minor village of Vistbacka within the district is even further inland at from Jakobstad, which makes it the furthest inland settlement where Swedish is the dominant language. Terjärv is known as 'The Pearl Of Ostrobothnia' for the exceptionally nice nature for the region, with rolling hills and numerous lakes along the river running through Terjärv.
Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport is located in Kronoby close to Terjärv.
