Sure. Off the top of my head:

Johanna Sinisalo's first novel was translated as "Troll - A love story" in US and "Not Before Sundown" in UK. It's set in the Finnish city, Tampere. "Birdbrain" is another translation but I haven't read it.

Many of Leena Krohn's books have been translated. I haven't read many of them but they seem to be magical realism type of stories.

Emmi It?ranta has two books and she's written them both in both English and Finnish: "Memory of Water" is a post-apocalyptic story set in a world where water is a precious resource. The main characters is a tea master. "The Waver" or "the City of Woven Streets" is more fantasy than SF.

Tove Jansson was a Swedish speaking Finn. She wrote the Moomin books.
