Kvænangen (Northern Sami: Návuotna; Kven: Naavuono) is a municipality in Troms county, Norway.

Other notable villages in the municipality include Alteidet, Badderen, Kjækan, and Sekkemo.

The European route E6 highway goes through the municipality and over the Sørstraumen Bridge, and many people stop at the Kvænangsfjellet pass to view the scenery of the Kvænangen fjord.

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

The official blazon is "Argent, a harebell plant azure" (Norwegian: I sølv en blå blåklokkeplante).

There is evidence that Kværnangen was the site for a transitional state between nomadic and agricultural society through what was known as "siida" - delimited areas where permanent housing was established and natural resources put under stewardship.

Over time, fisheries became a primary industry, and the community exported dried fish to southern areas.

During the Nazi occupation during World War II, a temporary work camp was established at Kvænangen.

In large part due to the generosity of the local population, prisoners had ample food.

As the German Wehrmacht retreated in early 1945, the population was evacuated by force, and all buildings were burned.

[1] There are several islands in the fjord that are part of Kvænangen Municipality: Skorpa, Spildra, and Nøklan.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Kvænangen is made up of 15 representatives that are elected every four years.
