Anna-Leena Härkönen (born 10 April 1965) is a Finnish writer and actress.
She was born in Liminka and studied acting at the college of drama and the University of Tampere's program of drama studies, which she concluded in 1989. She won the J. H. Erkko Award in 1984 for her debut novel How to Kill a Bull (Finnish: Häräntappoase).[1]
