Hemavan (South Sami: Bïerke) is a locality situated in Storuman Municipality, Västerbotten County (Lapland), Sweden with 222 inhabitants in 2010.

During the winter months Hemavan caters to many tourists as a ski resort, mainly from Sweden and the neighbouring countries of Norway and Finland.

When the village was provided with postal and telegraph services in 1918, the name was changed to Hemavan because another Björkfors was registered by the Torne River, and Hemavan was based on the area's 17 "avor's" (cut-off bays) in the Ume River, especially the bay that was closest.

The transport route along the Ume River, which people (including those known as "Norgefararna" who traveled to Mo i Rana for trade) used both summer and winter, could only be traveled with skis, sleds, or horse-drawn carts/sledges before it was improved in the 1930s.

In 1993, Hemavan's airport was completed for commercial air traffic, and before this, there was a small airfield for gliders in the 1960s.Hemavan has a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) with cold winters and mild summers.
