Burfjord (Norwegian), Burovuonna (Northern Sami), or Puruvuono (Kven)[3] is a village in Kvænangen Municipality in Troms county, Norway.

Prior to 1500, the Kvænangen region was almost entirely inhabited by indigenous Sami peoples, who at some point left the traditional nomadic life of reindeer herding atop the mountain plateau and settled to fish and farm as sjøsame (sea-Sami).

The first scouts northward from Trondheim found no southern Norwegians living in or around the area.

During the early 18th century, Burfjord and the larger Kvænangen region became inhabited by Norwegians from the south who plied their trade fishing and farming, as well by the Kven people and Finns who emigrated from the east.

Due to its geographically central location, it was chosen as the administrative centre of Kvæanangen Municipality.
