Nordreisa (Northern Sami: Ráisa [ˈraːjːsa]; Kven: Raisi)[4][5] is a municipality in Troms county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Storslett. Other villages include Oksfjordhamn, Sørkjosen, and Rotsund.
The municipality consists of the Reisadalen valley, with the river Reisaelva and deep pine forests, surrounded by mountains and high plateaus. Most people live in Storslett, where the river meets the Reisafjorden. Sørkjosen, just northwest of Storslett, is the location of Sørkjosen Airport with flights to Tromsø and several destinations in Finnmark. The European route E6 runs through the northern part of the municipality.
The 3,437-square-kilometre (1,327 sq mi) municipality is the 9th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Nordreisa is the 184th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 4,772.
