Tjøtta[3] is a village in Alstahaug Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

The village is located on an island, but it does have a mainland road connection via Norwegian County Road 17 and a series of bridges heading north to the town of Sandnessjøen.

[1] The climate is mild, compared with most of Northern Norway, with a long summer suited for agriculture.

[5] Tjøtta is mentioned in the Heimskringla many times; this was the home of Hárek of Tjøtta, one of the leaders of the peasant army which killed Olav Haraldsson at the Battle of Stiklestad.

There is archeological evidence of Iron Age agriculture in the area- Tjøtta gard, the largest medieval farm in North Norway was located at the present-day village of Tjøtta.
