Unjárga (Northern Sami) or Nesseby (Norwegian)[5] (also unofficially Uuniemi in Kven and Finnish) is a municipality in Finnmark county, Norway.

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

It is called Unjárga when it is spelled alone, but it is Unjárgga gielda when using the Sami language equivalent to "Nesseby municipality".

The official blazon is "Gules, a cloudberry plant Or couped at base" (Norwegian: I rødt en opprett gul molteplante).

This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is a cloudberry plant (Rubus chamaemorus).

The cloudberry 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.

Cloudberry plants are commonly found in the municipality and the Finnmark region, growing in marshes and wet fields.

[18] Wild reindeer used to cross the isthmus in prehistoric times until the year 1900, causing extensive human activity throughout the millennia.

The municipality of Nesseby was originally established in 1839 a year after the formannskapsdistrikt law went into effect.

On 1 January 1864, Nesseby Municipality was re-created from the western district of Vadsø landdistrikt.

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

[24] The municipality is situated on the isthmus between the Varangerfjord and the Tana River at the entrance to the Varanger Peninsula.

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

'A municipality of Coastal Sami', or sjøsamekommune, is a description used by media and the government of Norway.
