Tovika or Tovik (Norwegian) or Tuviika (Northern Sami)[3] is a village in Tjeldsund Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The village is located on the mainland at the entrance of the two fjords; Astafjorden and Vågsfjorden, and at a distance of about 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes.
A characteristic feature of this village is the curved mole (or breakwater) which accommodates smaller vessels, as well as a pier for guest boats. There is also a gas/petrol station which provides for general groceries. Tovik Church was built in 1905 to serve that part of the municipality.
The 0.54-square-kilometre (130-acre) village had a population (2005) of 200 and a population density of 370 inhabitants per square kilometre (960/sq mi). Since 2005, the population and area data for this village area has not been separately tracked by Statistics Norway.[1]
