Lauri Aukusti Letonmäki (22 December 1886, in Tampere – 20 November 1935) was a Finnish journalist, teacher, and politician. He was a member of the Parliament of Finland from 1914 to 1916. In 1918, during the Finnish Civil War, Letonmäki was Commissioner for Justice in the Finnish People's Delegation, the government of the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic.
