L'arcipelago di Valaam (in russo: Валаамский архипелаг?; in finlandese Valaam) è un arcipelago russo situate nella parte settentrionale del lago Ladoga. Amministrativamente fa parte del Sortaval'skij rajon della Repubblica di Carelia, nel Circondario federale nordoccidentale. Nel 2000 è stato istituito un parco naturale nell'area dell'arcipelago (Природный парк «Валаамский архипелаг»). Sull'isola principale, Valaam, si trova l'omonimo monastero.
