Kvæfjord (Northern Sami: Giehtavuotna) is a municipality in Troms county, Norway.

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

The first element is the genitive case of the name of the island Kviðja (now known as Kveøya) which lies in the fjord.

The official blazon is "Vert, a strawberry plant Or" (Norwegian: I grønt en gull jordbærplante).

The strawberry plant has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used.

The green color in the field symbolizes the importance of agriculture in the municipality, along with fertility, growth, and renewal.

The long hours of daylight, combined with relatively low summer temperatures, make the strawberries more tasteful than berries grown in warmer climates.

The municipality is located on Hinnøya island and it is split by three smaller branches of the large Andfjorden: Gullesfjorden, Kvæfjorden, and Godfjorden.

[1] The 412-metre (1,352 ft) tall mountain Nupen is located in the northern part of the municipality on the border with Harstad.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Kvæfjord is made up of 23 representatives that are elected to four year terms.
