Kukinnoissa is a small rural village in Finland. It is located in the southern part of the country, within a municipality known for its forests and lakes. The village's terrain includes gently rolling fields, pine forests, and a shoreline along a small lake.

The first records mentioning Kukinnoissa date to the 19th century. The name's origin is uncertain but is tied to local family names and agricultural activity. The village developed as a farming community and later incorporated forestry and crafts.

The local economy relies on agriculture, small-scale forestry, and seasonal tourism. A village cooperative operates a weekly market and a guesthouse. Public services are provided mainly by the wider municipality; there is no hospital or large school in the village.

The population is small, about 200–250 residents. Administrative tasks are handled by the municipal council; residents participate in village associations and planning committees.

Kukinnoissa hosts a midsummer festival by the lake and has a small network of nature trails suitable for hiking and berry-picking. The village center includes a community hall and a library operated by volunteers.

Access is by regional road with private cars as the most common mode of travel. The nearest railway station and high school are located in larger towns about 20–30 kilometers away. Bus connections serve the village several times per day.

The village has produced a few regional artists and craftsmen who contribute to local markets and exhibitions.
