Pääskyvuori (Finnish; Svalberga in Swedish) is a district in the Itäharju-Varissuo ward of the city of Turku, in Finland. It is located to the east of the city between Varissuo and Itäharju and is largely a low-density residential suburb. Pääskyvuori also includes the more densely built area of Laukkavuori. The name consists of the words pääsky, meaning 'swallow', and vuori, meaning 'mountain'. The former television tower located in the district is the tallest free-standing structure (122 m) in the Turku area.
