Vågan (Northern Sami: Vuogát) is a municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

Some of the villages in Vågan include Digermulen, Gimsøysand, Gravermarka, Henningsvær, Hopen, Kabelvåg, Kleppstad, Laupstad, Liland, Skrova, Straumnes, and Sydalen.

The official blazon is "Azure, a cod embowed argent" (Norwegian: På blå bunn en vertikalstillet fremadbøyd sølv torsk).

The cod has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.

The blue color in the field and the code were chosen because fishing is the main source of income for the municipality.

All three have a picturesque situation under the rugged Lofoten mountains, facing the rough body of water called Vestfjorden.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Vågan is made up of 29 representatives that are elected to four year terms.

Svolvær is the municipal centre, and has an impressive number of artists' studios and galleries.

In addition to the cod fisheries, salmon fish farming and tourism are economically important in Vågan.
