Talvik (Norwegian), Dálbmeluovta (Northern Sami), or Talmulahti (Kven)[3] is a village in Alta Municipality in Finnmark county in Norway.

It is located on the western shore of the Altafjorden, along the European route E6 highway.

The other explanation is that it is a corruption of the Northern Sami word Dálbme or the longer name Dálbmeluokta (historic spelling) which translates as "fog" or "fog bay".

The early Norwegian settlers would have translated that as tåkebukta (meaning "fog bay") and this could have been corrupted from tåke to tal.

The last element of the name is vík which means "inlet" or "cove".
