No. I'd say Finland isn't, but some people happily extend the term "Scandinavia" to Finland, along with Iceland and some even to Svalbard and Greenland.
Geographically, Finland isn't really, Iceland most certainly isn't, and neither is Greenland or Svalbard.
If you think about it: "Is Finland a Scandinavian country?" No, not really... But I'd happily group Finland with Scandinavia long before I'd group Scandinavia with Germany or Holland.
If you get what I mean...
Either way it goes, Finland is most certainly a Nordic country, and is part of the Nordic Council. Finland is a native of Norden!
Uhm..

Which country is not a part of Scandinavia - Finland or Iceland?
Strictly speaking, Scandinavia only refers to Norway and Sweden because Denmark, Finland and Iceland are not on the Peninsula. However, Iceland and Denmark are considered Scandinavian because they are culturally, linguistically and ethnically Scandinavian. Finland has more Russian history than Scandinavian, but is also considered Scandinavian due to the fact that they are in a region called Fennoscandia (Fenno-Scandinavia), which is Norway, Sweden and Finland. As a result, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland (Faroe Islands too, since Denmark governs them) are all a part of Scandinavia.
