Lavangsdalen (Northern Sami: Lávákvuovdi) is a valley in Troms, Norway. It runs from Lavangen at Balsfjorden in Balsfjord Municipality northwards to Sørbotn in the end of Ramfjorden in Tromsø Municipality. The valley is mainly known for its stretch of the European route E8, a road branching off from the E6 at Nordkjosbotn to Tromsø. Being the most accident-prone road in Northern Norway alongside National Road 80, the valley is known for a 2011 bus accident that killed 5 people.
