Besselvassheia[2] is a mountain in Frøya Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

The mountain was unnamed until the autumn of 2009 when it was given the name Besselvassheia, after the nearby lake Besselvatnet.

[3] The well-known Norwegian soccer trainer Drillo, also known for his interest in geography, told a local resident, Frank Angelvik, that the highest point of Frøya was unnamed.

[4] Together with Halgeir Hammer, a local guide, the naming contest was announced in September 2009.

Some of the names that were runners-up were: Frøyberget, Frøytuva, Halgeirtoppen, Halgeirguten, and Besselberget.
