Moskenes is a municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The municipality comprises the southern part of the island of Moskenesøya in the traditional district of Lofoten. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Reine. Other villages include Sørvågen, Hamnøy, and Å.
The 119-square-kilometre (46 sq mi) municipality is the 321st largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Moskenes is the 335th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 979. The municipality's population density is 8.9 inhabitants per square kilometre (23/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 12.4% over the previous 10-year period.[4][5]
The municipal government owes 100 million kr (as of 2022), and the significance of this debt makes it difficult to find other municipalities that are interested in merging with Moskenes.[6]
