Vihtori Kosonen (1873–1934) was a Finnish journalist, publisher, and free-thinker.^[1]^[2]

Kosonen first worked as an editor at the Työmies newspaper, which was founded in 1895.^[3] In 1898, he was forced to leave Finland due to the anti-socialist policies of the Finnish government under Russian governor Nikolay Bobrikov. He fled to America, where he became an influential figure in the American–Finnish workers' movement.^[4] From 1903, he was the editor of the American Työmies newspaper.^[5]

Kosonen decided to return to Finland in 1905.^[4] He was involved in the activities of the Social Democratic Party, and served as editor of the Kansan Lehti newspaper.^[6] During the 1905 Russian revolution, Kosonen organised shelter for refugees from the Baltic region of the Russian Empire, also helped organise the December 1905 Tampere bolshevik conference.^[6]^[2] In February 1906, he helped Latvian revolutionary Jānis Čoke, who was later revealed to have taken part in the robbery of the Russian State Bank branch in Helsinki.^[6]
