Ibestad (Northern Sami: Ivvárstádik) is a municipality in Troms county, Norway.

Some of the other larger villages in Ibestad include Engenes, Laupstad, Rollnes, Sørrollnes, Sørvika, and Å.

Initially, Ibestad Municipality covered a large area from the Vågsfjorden strait to the border with Sweden (the old Astafjord Church parish).

On 1 January 1907, the easternmost area of Ibestad (population: 1,536) became the separate Lavangen Municipality.

[7] On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county.

On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Ibestad.

The official blazon is "Azure, a cross formy within and conjoined to an annulet argent" (Norwegian: I blått et sølv hjulkors med utbøyde armer).

This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a cross formy inside an annulet (circle).

The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Ibestad is made up of 19 representatives that are elected to four year terms.
