Linnanpelto is a district in the city of Kuopio, Finland, about a kilometer north of the Kuopio Market Square. It is part of the Itkonniemi–Männistö–Linnanpelto division area, which has a population of just over 5,800.[1] Linnanpelto starts immediately on the north side of the railway.

The area has its own services, e.g. Sale grocery store,[2] hairdresser, cafe and kindergarten.[3] The district also houses two schools: the Kalevala School (former Linnanpello Secondary School and High School),[4] which was closed down in summer 2016, and the Pohjanmaa School, about a kilometer away.

The most famous inhabitants of Linnanpelto are the late Pertti "Spede" Pasanen, known for his films and inventions.[5]
