Svartfjellet is a mountain in Loppa, Finnmark, Norway. It lies by the small glacier Svartfjelljøkulen, close to the larger glacier Øksfjordjøkelen.

The mountain was, due to a measurement error[1], for many years regarded as the highest mountain in Finnmark. The highest point in Finnmark lies on the glacier Øksfjordjøkelen, and the highest mountain lies close to it, but has no official name yet[2].
