Kvalsund (Northern Sami: Fálesnuorri and Kven: Valasnuora) is a former municipality in Finnmark county in Norway. The area is now part of Hammerfest Municipality. The municipality existed from 1869 until its dissolution in 2020. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Kvalsund. Other villages in the municipality included Áisaroaivi, Kokelv, Oldernes, Oldervik, Revsneshamn, Skaidi.
At the time of its dissolution on 1 January 2020, the 1,844-square-kilometre (712 sq mi) municipality was the 37th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Kvalsund was also the 394th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 988. The municipality's population density was 0.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (1.3/sq mi) and its population had decreased by 5.4% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]
The Kvalsund Bridge (Kvalsundbrua) is a suspension bridge that crosses the Kvalsundet strait from the mainland to the island of Kvaløya.
In 2015, the media said that for four years an application has been filed for establishing Norway's largest copper mine, depending on a permit for creating a zone in Repparfjorden for depositing waste from the mine.[7]
