Hasvik is a municipality in the county of Finnmark, Norway.
Hasvik is situated on the western side of Norway's third island, Sørøya. Most people are to be found in a string of settlements along the west coast; Breivikbotn and Hasvik being the main ones.
Hasvik has an airport with regular connections to Tromsø and Hammerfest, and there is a two hour ferry crossing to Øksfjord, providing access by car.
The population is in steady decline, due to the problems within the fishing industry.
