Storfjord is a municipality in the county of Troms, Norway.
The municipality is situated around the inner parts of the fjord of Lyngen. The ethnic mix is interesting, with both Sami and Finnish cultures represented. In the valley of Signaldalen, a Norwegian dialect of southern origin is spoken, a reminiscent of the valley's settlement from the south in the early 19th. c.
Storfjord borders both Finland and Sweden, and the borders of the three countries meet at the beacon of Treriksrøysa (Swedish: Treriksröset), the northernmost point of Sweden.
