Jaktens Tid (English: The Time of the Hunt) is a folk metal album by the Finnish band Finntroll. It was released in 2001 by Spinefarm Records.

The album itself is considered by many fans of the band as their best, featuring a mix of folk and Viking metal aspects, such as traditional joik singing.

There is a bonus song on the final outro track: after approximately a minute of silence, a drunken-sounding polka-type song begins. It features acoustic guitars, keyboards, indiscernable yelled vocals, and a number of other unidentifiable instruments and sound effects.

The song "Vargtimmen" is an unlikely cover from the folk music band Hedningarna's album Trä.
