Tysfjord or Divtasvuodna is a municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Ofoten. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Kjøpsvik. Other villages include Drag, Hundholmen, Korsnes, Musken, Rørvika, Skarberget, and Storå. Tysfjord has a very large population of Lule Sami people. The Árran Lule Sami Center is located in the village of Drag. With the Norwegian language and Lule Sami language both as official languages of the municipality, Tysfjord is the only municipality in Norway where speakers of Lule Sami should theoretically be able to speak that language with officials, although this has not come completely to fruition. The 1,464-square-kilometre municipality is the 56th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Tysfjord is the 330th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,960. The municipality's population density is 1.4 inhabitants per square kilometre and its population has decreased by 4.5% over the last decade.
