Storsien is a small village in Kalix Municipality in northern Sweden. It is best known for the concentration camp located there where about 300-370 communists and pacifists were held during the winter of 1939-1940.

The village was founded in 1798 and grew to its maximum size at the end of the 1940s with about 80 inhabitants. Today it consists of thirteen farms with a total of about twenty-five people. Mail service, with one delivery per week, was started in early 1900. Telephones were installed in 1927, and electricity in 1941.

Storsien is also the name of a Swedish dancehall artist.
