Nuvsvåg is a village in the municipality of Loppa in Finnmark county, Norway. The village is located on the mainland, along the Nuvsfjorden. This part of Loppa is a peninsula that has one road along the fjord, but it is only accessible by a ferry from the village of Øksfjord. There are between 150–200 people living in Nuvsvåg all year round. Nuvsvåg Chapel is located in this village. Nuvsvåg's primary industry is fishing. For a time there was a wolffish-farm here, but due to a lack of funding, it closed after a short time.[2]
About 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the south of Nuvsvåg is Finnmark county's tallest mountain, Loppatinden, and the large glacier Øksfjordjøkelen. About 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the southwest of Nuvsvåg lies the mountain Svartfjellet and the glacier Svartfjelljøkelen.
