Karkku is a locality and former municipality in Pirkanmaa region, Finland. It was consolidated in 1973 with Vammala, which in turn, was consolidated with Äetsä and Mouhijärvi into a town of Sastamala in 2009. Karkku is located by the lake Rautavesi, about 13 kilometres north of the Sastamala town center.
The village of Karkku was the center of the Medieval Sastamalasocken (not to be confused with the modern town of Sastamala), which was one of the 10 original sockens of the historical province of Satakunta. During the 15th and 16th century, Sastamala was split into several smaller parishes.
