Bardufoss (Norwegian) or Beardogorži (Northern Sami)[4] is a town[1] and commercial centre in Målselv Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The urban area was formally established as a town under Norwegian law in 2021 when the three villages of Andselv, Andslimoen, and Heggelia were merged together to form the new town of Bardufoss.[5] The three neighboring villages are now considered as boroughs or neighborhoods within the larger town.
Bardufoss is located in the Målselvdalen valley near the confluence of the Barduelva and Målselva rivers. It is located about 82 kilometres (51 mi) north of the town of Narvik and about 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of the city of Tromsø. Bardufoss Airport is located here. The 3.71-square-kilometre (920-acre) town has a population (2023) of 2,752 and a population density of 742 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,920/sq mi).[2]
