Loppa (Northern Sami: Láhppi and Kven: Lappea) is a municipality in Finnmark county, Norway.

The municipality of Loppen (later spelled Loppa) was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law).

[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 Loppa.

The official blazon is "Or a cormorant wings elevated sable" (Norwegian: I gult en svart skarv).

The field (background) has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used.

Loppa is the westernmost municipality of Finnmark and it faces the open stretch of the Norwegian Sea called Lopphavet, and it is mostly coastal with fjords and islands under the gigantic snowcap of the Øksfjordjøkelen glacier.

The mountains Lopptinden and Svartfjellet both lie in the municipality along with the glaciers Langfjordjøkelen, Øksfjordjøkelen, and Svartfjelljøkelen.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Loppa is made up of 15 representatives that are elected to four year terms.

Several other buildings and boathouses was also discovered and dated to the same period as the longhouse and the rich female grave.

The amount of Iron Age burials and houses suggests that of a more permanent Norse settlement.

[46] In Middle Ages, the hunting and the production of oil from marine mammals seems to stop, and fishing becomes more important.

On the island of Loppa one of the farm mounds was dated to the 1100s AD, with a church site close by.
